Impact Leisure Services

Impact Leisure Services (ILS) is a division of Impact that provides leisure and recreation services and supported holiday opportunities to people with a disability. These services are fee for service as Impact does not receive government funding to provide these services.

ILS aims to promote respite through recreation and leisure. Impact believes that people with disability should be able to participate in and experience the same leisure and holiday opportunities as the broader community.
