At Able Foods, we believe that everyone deserves the right to a life of independence and joy, and we know how important food is in delivering that.
This means that older Australians, Australians with disabilities, and the care network that supports them have a food partner who always keeps their needs front of mind in every decision.
At Able Foods, we make meals with purpose
Our dedicated team understands what it means to create meals that cater to our client’s unique needs. Through years of experience, we also know how to best manage both the NDIS and Aged Care (Support at Home) processes.
Specially designed with nutrition guidelines that don’t sacrifice great taste, our meals are delivered with genuine care – from a team who are experts in the NDIS and aged care landscape.
It’s our mission to enable healthier, happier and more independent lives for each and every ability.
We understand the ins and outs of the NDIS and Support at Home, so we can help you get the best out of your plan

Hit 100 is established to provide a meal delivery service for diabetes treatment and prevention.
Hit 100 enters the NDIS space as it begins to roll out across Australia to increase access and choice of healthy, home-delivered meals to people with disability.
Hit 100 rebranded as Kinela to better reflect the mission to democratise healthcare and change the game so that everyone has access to better health.
Paralympic Gold Medalist Dylan Alcott OAM and current CEO Spencer Ratliff co-found Able Foods to shake up the ready-made meal space for NDIS participants including a first in market texture modified range.
Able Foods is acquired by Kinela, Australia’s leading innovator in disability healthcare. The Kinela meal delivery business begins operating as part of the Able Foods brand, bringing together two of the strongest brands in the business.
Able Foods is acquired by a values-aligned investor, For Purpose Investment Partners (FPIP), which allows our business to scale with a focus on delivering greater social impact to our clients.
We branch into Aged Care through Home Care Packages extending our service to include older Australians. We’re now working with over 40 HCP Providers and counting.
Our story is just getting started, and we can’t wait to do bigger and better things as we continue to grow.
The Able Foods Advisory Committee is a key “voice of the customer” for our business internally and externally. It provides advice and guidance to ensure that our decisions, actions and positioning are aligned with the diverse and individual needs and aspirations of our customers and the communities we serve.
Our investors
Able Foods is proudly owned by For Purpose Investment Partners (FPIP). FPIP is a not-for-profit social impact investment manager, bringing private sector capital and capabilities into sizable businesses and projects to create significant social impact.
FPIP acquired Able Foods in December 2022, with a vision of ensuring that Australians living with disability can have greater access to delicious and nutritious food. Central to FPIP’s investment in Able Foods is the values alignment of the Able Foods team in delivering social impact in the communities it operates in. FPIP believes Able Foods’ customer centricity will be a powerful driver of Able Foods’ success into the future.
Since December 2022, the team at FPIP has helped management attract board talent, collaborated with the Able Foods team to design a customer impact survey, and supported the business to expand their meal delivery service into the Support at Home market.
Able Foods is now a Certified B Corporation, a globally recognised credential that reflects our commitment to meeting the highest standards of social impact, transparency, and accountability.
At Able Foods, we’ve always believed good food should do good, too. This certification recognises the work we’ve been doing since we started: Not only empowering NDIS and aged care customers to exercise greater choice and independence over mealtimes, but doing it in a way that supports our team, our wider community, and the planet.
