About Us

    Where we began

    Our CEO Germaine Arriagada, established TAG 5 in 2008 when he recognised a clear need within our community for services for people with a disability and their families. We began by simply providing day activities for a small group of individuals. Over the years, we have grown to be the company we are today and now have almost 100 dedicated staff members who work each day to improve the lives of those around them.

    What We Do

    Our mission is to enhance the lives of people with a disability. We help to provide opportunities for new experiences and community involvement in a safe and nurturing environment. We provide people with a disability and their families the knowledge and skills necessary for promoting their own independence, equal opportunity and quality of life. Our aim is to help you to achieve your personal goals whether that’s assisting you to connect with your community, playing a sport, going overseas or learning new skills. We are here to support you to reach your full potential.

    Our Services

    TAG 5 runs several services to meet your personal needs. Our services include, camps, the Impact Program, respite, Getaways and Cruises. Because the NDIS can be difficult to understand at times, TAG 5 also has Support Coordination and NDIS Plan Management services. All TAG 5 activities are strategically planned, structured and risk managed in accordance with Disability Services licence requirements and TAG 5's mission, values, principles, policies and procedures.

      - R

    • What can I say. I am so grateful for the wonderful opportunities that you have offered our son. He has been to so many wonderful places and experienced opportunities we could not have offered him. The times he has had with TAG 5 are memories he will never forget. Thank you all for making it possible and we look forward to many more exciting times.

      - MA

    • As parents we would like to thank all the staff that helped make the 3 days a wonderful experience for R, it seems like he really enjoyed the setup, we would also like to thank the admin staff for putting everything together for the program to run smoothly as we know that it does take a lot of hours and maybe logistical nightmares at time!

      - H & Y

    • I would like to say that we are happy with you all at TAG 5. The carers are awesome and can see that they not only treat their clients as clients but as a friend as well. We have seen over the last couple of years that A has grown up and is now a wonderful young man. I guess he just wants to be treated & respected for who & what he is & we know that TAG 5 will do that, Thank you.

    • A big thank you to all the staff for the recent Camp for A to attend, as usual, she was well cared for, It’s lovely to have that break as well as lovely for her to get away and interact with a different group of teenagers. We thank all the workers who were on camp with her as well as the staff behind the scenes in arrangements.
