Overview and History
For 45 years Valmar Support Services Limited and its predecessor organisations have provided services for people with disabilities from the Tumut district. From small voluntary beginnings aided by a supportive community, Valmar has grown to become a leading provider of services to people with disabilities in the Eastern Riverina/Southwest Slopes area of New South Wales covering the local government areas of Tumut, Yass Valley, Tumbarumba, Gundagai, Queanbeyan and Goulburn. In addition to providing services for people with disabilities we also provide support services for the frail aged.
Valmar is a not-for-profit company, limited by guarantee, is an income tax exempt charitable entity and is endorsed as a deductible gift recipient. Valmar’s operations are overseen by a voluntary Board of Directors which brings a wide range of relevant business, community and demographic knowledge to bear in the corporate governance of the organisation.
Our Aims
To provide quality support services to people with disabilities, the frail aged and other disadvantaged members of the community as the Directors may identify, to enable them to participate and integrate in the community, and through these processes be acknowledged as valued community members.
To operate in compliance with the NSW and Commonwealth Disability Services Acts, the HACC National Service Standards and the Valmar Support Services Ltd. Constitution.
Funding
Valmar’s operations are part funded by income generated from the services provided, and part funded through a number of Government programs.
