Motivation was founded in the UK in 1991 and has worked in over 30 countries. Over the years Motivation has received numerous requests for support from countries in the Asia Pacific. In response to this demand, in February 2007 Motivation registered the 'Motivation Australia', regional office in South Australia. An Australian base provides Motivation with greater opportunity to reach people with mobility disabilities living in the Asia Pacific region including rural and remote Australia.

Motivation Australia is a not for profit disability and development organisation. We are governed by an Australian Board of Governors, and have a growing number of members.

Motivation Australia programmes aim to improve opportunities by positively impacting on disabled people's physical, social and economic situation to enable their full participation in society. We work in partnership with a range of organisations - from grassroots disability groups to national governments and international institutions - to ensure that local people and organisations have the skills to meet the needs of disabled people in their communities and to affect positive lasting change.

A major focus of our work is the appropriate provision of wheeled mobility. Our vision is of a world that promotes everyone's right to mobility and inclusion. We believe mobility is an essential human right that enables people to achieve inclusion in all aspects of life.

Motivation also has a regional office in Capetown, South Africa (Motivation Africa Regional Office, MAFRO) and a country office in Sri Lanka (Motivation Sri Lanka, MSL). We are also affiliated with our sister organisation Motivation Romania who service Eastern Europe.

Motivation Australia inc. is an incorporated association in South Australia (A39386)
