We might have a new name, but we’re not the new kids on the block. You once knew us as House with No Steps and The Tipping Foundation – two great organisations, with over 100 years of combined experience, who came together in 2018. Yes, we’re a disability service provider, but we’re also so much more. We’re the trusted partner of over 5000 people with a disability throughout the east coast of Australia. Aruma is leading the new age, the new world of disability support – the NDIS world. Aruma puts our customers first. And to do this we need you – staff who are brave, bold, and who dare to think differently.

One in three Australians will need blood or blood products in their lifetime but currently only one in thirty actually donate. Do something special. Give blood.

FOCAS Shoalhaven is a disability service provider, assisting people with a disability to achieve their personal aspirations. We help to encourage and support social inclusion and role based recruitment. Our organisation works with people requiring medium to high level support. At FOCAS Shoalhaven, we provide individualised funding and age-appropriate planning. This ensures each individual has control over their choices. In doing this, individuals can choose to undertake training, education or participate in programs of their selection. Our organisation specialises in support through Social Role Valorisation. This approach aims to work against societal devaluation and negative effects. Social Role Valorisation teaches techniques for dealing with these effects and behaviour. FOCAS Shoalhaven is a local organisation, providing support services to Wollongong, the South Coast, Ulladulla, Nowra and Batemans Bay.
