About us

Noweyung was established in 1954 by a group of parents, community volunteers and supporters. It has experienced steady growth since then, currently delivering Centre-based services in Bairnsdale and Orbost. Noweyung has several Independent Living units and a Supported Residential group home. Also delivered are a range of disability and social enterprises, including Ace Total Maintenance, Banksia Fine Foods and Cells Café.

We are looking to employ someone who will swiftly engage with the role as we fully transition to NDIS. We need you to contribute to the positive culture of Noweyung as we continue on our journey of sector and organisational change.
