IMAGINING & ACHIEVING BETTER LIVES

How would you like your life to be?

You have your own dreams and your NDIS money can help you achieve them. There are many ways that Araluen can assist you to live well and enjoy a happier, safe life of your choice at home and in the community. We’re excited by all the good things that are possible when we imagine and do them together. So we want you to be too.

So what now?

You imagine and tell us anything –
• Something you have always wanted to do
• Something in your life you’d like to change
• Something you think you’d be great at

Then we imagine and work with you to try and make it happen

We listen to you

Great changes can happen when we listen to you and understand what you’d like your life to be.

We look into the future with you

Imagination is endless. Let’s look at the dreams and goals you have now and what you hope your future will become. Together we can come up with ways to make what you’d like real.
And you can change your mind.
If you do, we can imagine new ideas so your supports always keep helping you achieve the things you want.

We care about you

Araluen staff are priceless and many stay with us for a long time.
We ‘imagine better’ every day to deliver the right support for each person.
We make sure our staff are well supported so they can focus on you.

We do with you

We do our best to keep our promises. If we can’t do what you ask ourselves, we’ll talk to our many partners and friends to find a way.

🌍 Happy IDPwD! 💙 Today we join a global celebrati 🌍 Happy IDPwD! 💙

Today we join a global celebration – December 3rd is International Day of People with Disability, an opportunity to help create an inclusive and diverse society for the 5.5 million people living with disability in Australia. 
 
Yesterday, as we reflected on this year’s theme, ‘Fostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress’, we celebrated with a morning tea at Montsalvat and launched our latest ceramics exhibition, “See me through clay”. This diverse ceramics showcase is a powerful statement of ability that demonstrates how artists supported in our Art Connects program contribute to enriching and advancing our communities. 🎨✨ Stay tuned - more photos of the launch to come. 
 
Social advancement means breaking barriers, celebrating abilities, and ensuring that everyone belongs. Let’s keep moving forward together!

With thanks to Nillumbik Shire Council and the Margaret Lawrence Bequest for supporting "See me through clay".
