People with disability have opportunities to live their best life

Established in 1962, Hartley Lifecare (Hartley) is a Canberra-based not-for-profit  organisation providing supported accommodation for people with disability, their families and carers. 

Originally established to provide a learning facility and therapy support service for children and adults, Hartley has grown extensively to support clients in over 30 homes across the ACT. 

Over the last six decades, families have grown to rely on and trust Hartley to deliver high quality, person centred support.

As we move toward the future, Hartley will continue to maintain and build upon these strong foundations, ensuring that our clients and their families have opportunities to live their best life.
