Learn more about Wallara Australia

Wallara clients are supported with daily living, social skills, community participation and recreation.Established in Dandenong in 1959 by local council and parents of children with disabilities, Wallara has evolved over the years to become an innovative, sector leading support service for adults with different abilities.

One of the largest barriers to achieving success for our clients is public attitudes, understanding and lack of awareness and opportunity. The more we can change those attitudes and raise awareness and understanding the more opportunities our clients will have in their lives and the better will be their outcomes.

Our commitment to reach out and engage with the general community and drive social change is the philosophy behind:

• WallaraTV, our award winning in-house media team that has created over 150 videos and produced seven 30 minute TV Specials that have been broadcast on C31 in Melbourne and on Foxtel nationally.

• Our partnerships with Monash University ‘Keep On Learning’, Ventura Bus Lines, St Kilda Football Club and Frankston RSL.

• It is also behind our vision for Sages Cottage Farm where we see a unique opportunity to bring the community to us. That’s why we have opened the café, run tours and also launched a campaign for $3M to expand our facilities so we can offer more places to the people we support on the farm, to provide more supported employment roles and welcome more visitors to this amazing property.
