Vision
Every child develops meaningful relationships, participates and learns with the encouragement and understanding of their families, carers, educators and communities.
About Us
Noah’s Ark is a not-for-profit community organisation based in Victoria and the ACT, Australia. We offer a range of services and programs that support families who have a child (aged 0-8) with a disability or additional needs.
At Noah’s Ark we work closely with children with a disability, their families and the services they participate in. We recognise that parents are experts on their own child and we provide them with information and support that enables them to make informed decisions.
We employ more than 220 staff and deliver services to more than 2000 families across Victoria and the ACT.
Noah’s Ark works with families, educators and policy-makers.
We’re also leaders in our field. Noah’s Ark provides training for early childhood professionals, participates in sector events and leads policy and research in Australia and around the world.
