IDEA Services is an IHC community service.

IDEA Services follows IHC's philosophy that is reviewed by IHC membership every five years.

IHC philosophy is that all people with intellectual disabilities have the right to:

• be treated with dignity
• have a say in their own lives
• live, learn, work and enjoy life as part of the community
• have support that meets their goals and aspirations
• be part of a family

IDEA Services has its own service values and these are:

• Empowerment
• Inclusion
• Responsiveness
• Support

As part of IHC, IDEA Services senior staff report to the Chief Executive who in turn reports to the board of IHC. Membership of IHC is open to parents, family members, staff, people using services and any other interested people.

IDEA Services has two Regional General Managers based in the Northern and Central/Southern regions responsible for the services in their area. Their responsibilities include managing services, finances, staff and local relationships with Needs Assessment and Service Coordinations Agencies and other agencies. 

A General Manager is responsible for IDEA Services Specialist Services. This team provides specialist advice, mentoring and support to adults with complex needs.
