Hartley Lifecare is a Canberra-based organisation that has provided accommodation support and respite care to children and adults in the ACT with physical and complex disabilities for more than 45 years.
While sometimes people think disabilities are only caused at birth, the reality is they can happen unexpectedly to anybody at any stage of life. It could be you or another family member. It could be a friend, neighbour or work colleague.

While disabilities change lives forever, they don’t have to stop life forever. With special, intensive, ongoing support, people with physical and complex disabilities can lead fulfilling lives. That is what Hartley Lifecare is all about.
