Behind everything Greenacres does is a dedicated team of people who bring their skills, experience and passion to work every day 💙💛

Meet Peter, our Production Manager, who has been part of Greenacres for almost 18 years!

With extensive experience in warehousing, production, packaging and logistics, Pete helps keep our Enterprises operations running smoothly.

For Pete, one of the most rewarding parts of his role is seeing supported employees develop new skills, take on new challenges and grow in confidence.

He's passionate about creating a safe, supportive workplace while maintaining strong relationships with our customers.

As Pete puts it, “What is a business without its people?”

It's this people-first approach that makes Pete such a valued part of the Greenacres team.

A huge congratulations to Daniel Demaagd, who has proudly been awarded Life Membership of Vox FM in recognition of his excellence in disability broadcasting!

Dan’s journey with Vox FM began in 2012 when he started his training. By 2013, he had completed his training and continued on as a presenter, with the reins handed over to him by Greenacres volunteer and long-time Vox FM presenter, Carmel Collins.

Since then, Dan has continued to grow his skills and knowledge, recently learning all about digital broadcast panels as Vox FM made the switch from analogue to digital. He is now a Panel Trainer at Vox FM, sharing his knowledge and helping others develop their broadcasting skills.

Beyond presenting, Dan continues to give back by volunteering at the many fundraising events Vox FM supports. His dedication, ongoing learning and contribution to community broadcasting make this Life Membership a wonderful achievement.

Want to tune in and hear Dan in action?
- Greenacres on Air: Wednesdays, 12 pm – 1 pm
- Dan’s Music Mix: Fridays, 8 pm – 10 pm

Congratulations Dan! What an incredible achievement and a fantastic recognition of your commitment to broadcasting and the Vox FM community. Keep up the great work!

Cafes across the Illawarra. Thousands of coffees made. Plenty of smiles exchanged.

Find us at the NSW SES building, Wollongong City Council, and Warrigal Shell Cove. Each of our cafes is staffed by members of our team – each with different abilities. They take orders, make coffee, run the till, and make customers’ days.

You can show your support with your daily flat white.

Greenacres has been a pillar of disability support for over 70 years. How did we start? It started with a group of parents who wanted more for their children.

Years later, here is how you can be part of something great:
🕯️ Buy a candle or a hamper from IMAGINE Homewares and Hampers
☕ Grab a coffee at one of our cafés
🍽️ Order catering for your next meeting
📦 Bring us into your supply chain for packing, assembly or manufacturing
🎨 Consider social procurement when making buying decisions
🌿 Book our Parks Maintenance Crew
💙 Make a donation

However you choose to support Greenacres, you’re helping people with disability build skills, grow in confidence and pursue a life that matters to them.

What a wonderful response to our Outsider Art Exhibition! Around 85% of artworks sold, a fantastic reflection of our artists’ creativity and the community’s support.

One of those artworks, created by Alison, is heading to the office of Jake Pearson from Interchange Illawarra! Jake is pictured with the piece, purchased at the exhibition and gifted to him by his Chair, Susan Wallis.
Thank you, Jake, Susan and Illawarra Interchange, for supporting our artists. We’re proud to be part of a community where for-purpose organisations support one another.

Beyond the sales, it was wonderful to hear how much visitors enjoyed the exhibition. Local Indigenous artist Tommy Friday who attends every year, described it as his favourite exhibition, sharing how much he loves the freedom our artists have to express themselves.

Thank you to everyone who visited, purchased an artwork and celebrated our talented artists!

Feeling inspired? Greenacres’ Outsider Art program supports people with disability to explore their creativity and express themselves through art. To find out more, visit https://greenacres.net.au/collections/outsider-art, call 1800 462 446 or email [email protected].

Last night, Greenacres joined our friends at The Flagstaff Group for the Rotary Club of West Wollongong’s annual Pride of Workmanship Awards, celebrating individuals who make a positive difference through their dedication and hard work.

Both Greenacres and Flagstaff were also grateful to receive generous donations from Rotary’s 2026 Charity Race Day, supporting young people with disability to develop the skills and experience needed to achieve their employment goals.

For Greenacres, this support will contribute to our new Kickstart Academy learning space, featuring innovative digital resources, creative learning areas and accessible facilities.

We’re excited to officially open the space on Thursday 5 November, from 9.45 am to 11.30 am, and invite everyone to join us to learn more about our Work Launch program.

A heartfelt thank you to the Rotary Club of West Wollongong for your generosity and ongoing commitment to our community. Your motto, Service Above Self, truly shines through.

Congratulations to all the Pride of Workmanship Award recipients!

Packaging and labelling. Rework services. Light manufacturing and assembly. Industrial sewing.

These are all commercial services we offer. We quote and deliver across Sydney, the Illawarra, and surrounding areas.

These are all services you may need. The difference is the social impact that enables us to employ 200 people with disability. Your order means more than a delivery - it helps create paid work, build confidence and gives people with disability the chance to feel proud of what they do. That’s the difference your purchase can make.

Get in touch for a quote – we take on new work all the time.
