Orana

Orana Orana NSW Inc - your local and connected community services organisation. We are run on the generosity of volunteers, donations, government funding and grants.

Orana NSW Inc is a local, not-for-profit community services organisation helping residents of the Sutherland Shire. We assist all members of the local community with information and referral services, specifically supporting those who are financially disadvantaged and socially isolated. We have programs and services direct from Sutherland and Gymea. Funded by the Department of Communities and Just

ice and Sutherland Shire Council, we are an incorporated Association, a registered charity and hold the status of Public Benevolent Institution which means all donations over $2 are tax deductible. We have a Management Board made up of community volunteers who are responsible for governance. We are continually evaluating the needs of our local community and lobbying local and state governments for new services needed across the Sutherland Shire.

Orana is out in the Sutherland Shire every week supporting families right in their homes — and we need your help to keep doing it. 🏡💙

Our Early Support Service has a growing waitlist of families who need a hand, and we’re looking for caring volunteers to join our team. Your time could make a real difference.

We’re urgently seeking volunteers to provide in‑home support to local families.
If you’ve ever wanted to give back, this is a beautiful way to do it.

Volunteer info session:

“If I didn’t have this centre and the person who helped me so much in my life, who knows how it would be and where I would have ended up. That is why I want to thank the wonderful assistance they provided me and my children.” - Orana Client

Its Neighbourhood Centre's Week 2026! 💜

Neighbourhood Centres Week celebrates the 140+ Neighbourhood Centres across NSW that strengthen communities and provide safe spaces for connection and support.

At Orana, we’re proud to be part of this network — and we also run an unfunded domestic violence support service that many local families rely on.

Did you know we run a domestic violence support service called Safety and Healing? This service is unfunded, and we are in need of donations to keep supporting the multiple women who access our supports. 💜

We are currently in need of donations to help keep this vital service running. Every contribution helps someone in our community find safety, stability and hope. If you would like to donate in recognition of Neighbourhood Centre Week, please follow this link (donations are Tax Deductible):
