Noah's Ark Australia
Founded in 1971, Noah’s Ark is an innovative not-for-profit community organisation providing childhood intervention services to children with disabilities and additional needs. Our purpose is: To build better futures for children with disabilities and other additional needs. We support more than 3,000 families in Victoria and ACT. Driven by a strong philosophy and core values, we continue to place children and families at the centre of all the work we do. Noah’s Ark is dedicated to ensuring that the human rights and opportunities of all children are upheld in accordance with the Australian Human Rights Commission. We are committed to building stronger relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, communities and organisations and to providing respectful, responsive and culturally relevant services. In 2017, we launched our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan 2016-2017. 45 years on, we focus on working one-on-one with families in their natural environments and we work with the services that support children; like child care, preschool and out of school hours care to ensure that all children are given the chance to play, learn and interact. Our team consists of health professionals with extensive knowledge and experience in early childhood development, including occupational therapists, speech pathologists, physiotherapists, social workers, psychologists, teaching and inclusion support staff, as well as administrative support, marketing, business, research and managerial roles. We employ more than 220 staff across the organisation. We are leaders in our field—delivering training, resources and support to early childhood intervention and inclusion professionals in Australia and around the world.
