VMCH is a not-for-profit, values-based organisation providing quality services and life enhancing opportunities for older people and children and adults with a disability, their families and carers. From humble beginnings as the Catholic Braille Writers Association in 1907, Villa Maria has grown to become one of Victoria’s largest providers of disability, education and senior services, with more than 60 programs supporting over 5,000 people across Victoria and southern New South Wales. Services offered by Villa Maria range from specialist education and early childhood intervention for children with disabilities or developmental delays, to community based and in-home support services for older people and people with a disability, carer respite options, independent retirement living and residential aged care. Every day, more than 1,000 staff and 300-plus volunteers respond to the unique needs of the people and families we support with openness, innovation, creativity and flexibility.
