Our Impact

Participating through employment or self- employment is important for having an independent future, and for physical, mental and personal well-being and sense of belonging and identity.

Ignite has evidence that the biggest impact made on the life of the clients is in building self-confidence and a sense of belonging. Ignite’s unique person-centered approach, which is curated individually for each client, empowers the client to take steps forward.   This social value is a critical foundation for a client to participate economically.

“Ignite has helped me more than anything or anyone else in Australia. As a women Ignite has enabled me to feel like an entrepreneur and built up my confidence.”
