• Working with families

  Aruma works in partnership with families and support networks as part of the Aruma Way, involving parents and carers in all decisions about how their child is supported. The team believes that support workers should ask families what they want, involve them in every decision, and help rather than do things for them. Regular communication and coordination with all people who support the child ensures everyone works together effectively. Families can contact the local team at any time on 1300 538 746 to discuss their child's support, share feedback, or raise concerns.

• Meet the team

  Aruma is one of Australia's largest disability providers with a 60+ year service history and more than 4,000 people supported across NSW, QLD, VIC and the ACT. Local teams across regions are backed by experienced leadership including a Chief Executive Officer with 30 years in disability support who helped design the NDIS, and a Chief Operating Officer leading service delivery operations with extensive experience in complex, regulated environments. Staff are trained to deliver safe, high-quality, person-centred support meeting national NDIS Practice Standards, with professional development and ongoing capability building to ensure quality care.
