Thorndale Foundation Ltd

Organisation Details

Brief description

The Thorndale Foundation was established in 1959, as a parent based, not for profit organisation supporting the needs of people with intellectual disabilities in the Nepean area.

The early beginnings of the Foundation were as a school for children with disabilities and after initially utilising various temporary accommodations, in 1964 the Thorndale Centre at Rance Road, Werrington, was officially opened.

In 1984 the Foundation became part of the Challenge Foundation before again becoming autonomous in 1993, when the Thorndale Foundation Limited formed as a public company limited by guarantee.

Today, the Foundation operates a range of support services for participants with National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) plans.

Thorndale Foundation has remained a passionate and dedicated not for profit organisation, supporting people with disability to help achieve their goals for almost 60 years.

Our vision is to ensure that all people with disability live in a community where equality is a way of life.
