Supporting Hartley by trekking Kokoda in May 2025
Thank you for your support of Hartley Lifecare by sponsoring the Kokoda Trail trek in May 2025 to help people with disabilities live their best life.
Hartley Lifecare (Hartley) is a Canberra-based not-for-profit organisation providing Supported Independent Living (SIL), Short Term Accommodation, or respite care (STA) to people with disability in Canberra. We also operate a hydrotherapy pool - an all-abilities accessible heated pool.
Your donation helps Hartley to provide people with disability in the ACT access Hartley's services that support all sorts of great things such as outings and holidays for people with disability that they otherwise would not be able to do. Donations also are used to maintain the homes that our clients live in, and the complete rebuild of Hartley Court, a specialty disability accommodation for 10 Canberrans.
