Welcome to the 2018 Bake...

As we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Association and the commencement of Aurora Disability Services' day programme back in 1988, we again are ready to bake up a storm. As always the funds raised will assist the continued operation of our programmes and facilities.

So, with a few pearls of 30th anniversary wisdom along the way, this blog will take you through this year's bake.

We wouldn't be able to do this without our many supporters - from the businesses and organisations selling the biscuits for us, suppliers, volunteers; and of course all our loyal customers who return year after year to buy our biscuits (we hope you are enjoying some as you check out our blog!) - a big thank you to all of you.

If you would like a basket of biscuits for your business to sell, please email us at
auroradisability@auroradisability.org.au or call us on 6273 0916.

30 years young and going strong




On 15th March 1988, 30 years ago, The Tasmanian Association of People with Disabilities And Their Advocates Inc – or more fondly known as Aurora Disability Services - was founded in the lounge room of Joy and Graeme Cairns.

With Cosmos filled to capacity and no other services available, the meeting was attended by about 80 parents and carers desperate for help.

The organisation was initially established within a shared facility called The Barn at Chigwell ... where Monday mornings were usually spent cleaning up the broken bottles and mess remaining from parties held there over the weekend …

Aurora Disability Services is now housed from two large facilities in Mill Lane Glenorchy, and proudly operates The Old Chapel Tea Rooms, The Aurora Learning Centre and The Car Yard Cafe.


Aurora will be celebrating the
Anniversary of their first activity at an
Open Day in Mill Lane on Wednesday 30th May

All welcome!
