BuildAbility Disability Support Services
My name is Jonas Rundback and for over 25 years I have worked for some of the largest intellectual disability providers in Australia. First as a support worker, then a team leader and manager shared living.
I have several years of experience working with complex behaviours and diagnosis ranging from all levels of autism, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, mild, moderate, severe and profound intellectual disabilities and much more.
I am now the proud founder of ‘BuildAbility Disability Support Services’ based across the Illawarra region from Nowra, Kiama, Wollongong, Coledale and surrounds. We also have a service hub in the Northern Beaches area in Sydney.
I started ‘BuildAbilityDSS’ because I am passionate about supporting and enabling people with or without disabilities and their families to live their best life.

Ready to Build Your Ability?
I started BuildAbilityDSS because I wanted to be directly involved in building people’s abilities and confidence in life. The core values and successful formula that I have developed over the years is built from Commitment-Trust-Authenticity.
Commitment-Trust-Authenticity Explained!
Every human relationship begins with a Commitment – the decision to listen, engage and explore the potential value of the connection. When that commitment is mutual, it leads to Trust – the foundation for deeper investment in one another. With trust comes Authenticity – the space where we can be real, vulnerable and open.
As trust grows, the relationship evolves. It’s a cycle: more Commitment leads to more Trust, which fosters Authenticity. This in turn deepens the Commitment and the cycle continues.
When we build this trust, we unlock the potential to take risks, try new things and grow; ultimately building our participants’ ability to live their best lives.
