The support group is already planning to use the Foxtel subscription to host sport and movie nights for its patrons.

Warrina Services director Robert Fernandez said the pay-TV has already provided plenty of smiles.

"We are about integration and with the installation of Foxtel it provides our clients with an opportunity to get out of their home and socialise when they normally wouldn't," Mr Fernandez said.

"Most of the people we work with are on a pension so entertainment and going on outings is not something they can afford.

"Hopefully, this can help us bring something positive into the lives of all of our people."

Established in 1986 Warrina Services provides individual support to people with a disability in their home.

Some of Warrina's services include respite care, independent living training and vocational networking.
