About The Westhaven Association

The Westhaven Association provides supported employment and accommodation for adults and children with intellectual disabilities, enabling them to live the life they choose.

Westhaven funds its activities through the promotion and sale of a range of products and services including Ugg boots, pet products, woollen accessories, timber products and document shredding.  

The majority of Westhaven’s multi-million dollar turnover is reinvested into the community by employing local people and using local services.  

Through their programs and activities, Westhaven helps to address the important social aim of promoting greater acceptance of diversity.

“The award is a fabulous recognition of the wonderful work of our caring staff, who are thoughtful and compassionate about supporting people with a disability to achieve all they want in their lives.  We want everyone to know more about the fantastic 300 staff who work for us and encourage other caring people to consider us as a possible employer,” said Christian Grieves, CEO of The Westhaven Association.
