Boredom
Long stretches of unstructured time, passive routines, and days without meaningful activity.
About
Who we are
ACT Jubilant is a boutique disability support provider based in Canberra and the ACT.
We are built around participant engagement, meaningful routine, and relationship-based support, not volume, task lists, or constant worker rotation.
We exist to help people with disability feel capable, engaged, and proud of what they create and achieve.
Our origin
Why ACT Jubilant exists
After working directly with participants and families, we kept seeing the same three gaps.
Worker instability
Frequent changes in support workers, making it harder to build trust and routine.
Feeling managed, not seen
Support that focuses on tasks and supervision rather than interests, goals, and identity.
Many participants received support. Few experienced meaningful engagement. ACT Jubilant was created to close that gap.
Founder-led from the start
Manish Gupta, Managing Director
Before founding ACT Jubilant, Manish built businesses in Nepal focused on employment, community rebuilding, and creating opportunity, including support following the Nepal earthquake. That experience shaped a belief: business should improve people's lives.
After working directly with participants and families in disability support in Australia, Manish saw that engagement and consistency were often missing from delivery, even when hours were filled. ACT Jubilant was built to design support around interests, routine, and relationships from the beginning.
Before workers are matched, Manish still takes time to understand each person's communication style, preferences, routine, and goals, so support teams start with context, not cold handovers.

Fit guide
Who we're best for
The right fit matters for participants, families, and referrers alike.
A strong fit when the participant…
- Want more than assistance
- Benefit from routine and familiar support workers
- Have hobbies, interests, or goals they’d like support built around
- Enjoy structured weekly engagement
- May be interested in small group environments
- Value relationship-based support over a high-volume provider model
We may not be the best fit when…
- The primary goal is task completion or hours filled, without a focus on engagement, routine, or relationship-building
- Worker rotation is unavoidable and relationship continuity is not a priority
- Support is needed without a focus on interests, routine, or meaningful daily participation
Our team
The people behind the support
