Eyebrows have been raised at an unusual social media post on one of WA\u2019s biggest disability service providers Ability WA<\/a> which was aimed at an AFL team\u2019s fan base.<\/p>\n

The not-for-profit shared a post to their Facebook page in late January, offering the organisation\u2019s services with disability accommodation and in-home support.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbility WA can help you explore living options including disability accommodation all across the Perth metropolitan area,\u201d the caption read.<\/p>\n

It was the text on the post\u2019s photo that caught the attention of WA readers \u2014 with the wording on the image reading \u201cNo Collingwood supporters allowed\u201d, followed by a small star.<\/p>\n

The post is still live on their Facebook page, and was also shared to a community National Disability Insurance Scheme group.<\/p>\n

The post had also been used a sponsored advertisement by the organisation.<\/p>\n
