We warmly invite all current participants, families, carers, and staff to join us for birthday cake, a cuppa, performances, art, to share memories and hear stories!

50 years ago, Araluen Lower Plenty began with a bold vision based on determination and compassion. Our founders, a group of parents, were driven to create a unique, safe place where their children could have a life of belonging and achievement. So, a home-grown service that started from a humble suburban backyard put down roots with the opening of Araluen House (now Fraser House) and the Araluen Sheltered Workshop (now Orana), officially opening on November 24, 1974.

For any inquiries or further information: birthday@araluen.org or call 1300 020 625.

This event is a wonderful opportunity to reflect and celebrate Araluen’s rich history. Let’s come together, share memories, and enjoy a night to remember. We look forward to celebrating with you!

Araluen is about people and connection – so we want to hear your story!

We’d love to hear your stories about Araluen, what it means to you to be part of this community and the part we have played in your life. We will present some of these memories at this event. So even if you can’t make it on the night, you can still be part of it.

If you would like us to include your story as part of our upcoming celebrations for the 50th Anniversary of Araluen Lower Plenty, please complete the form below or email your reflection to birthday@araluen.org
