St Michael's Association
Established in 1966 and formally incorporated in 1970, St Michael’s Association has a rich history of evolving to meet the needs of individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities in Tasmania. What began as a special school for students in the Launceston area has transformed into one of the state's most forward-thinking disability support organisations.
Today, our services in Northern and North-West Tasmania encompass a wide array of supports designed to empower our participants. These services include Community Access, In-Home Support, Respite Accommodation, Individual Support, Supported Independent Living and Support
Coordination, among others. Our role as a Registered Training Organisation further underscores our commitment to continuous learning and development within our community.
As we continue to grow and evolve, St Michael’s Association remains dedicated to its mission of supporting the lifestyle, physical, and emotional needs of our participants through personalised, high-quality services. Our journey from a single special school to a leader in disability support reflects our resilience, adaptability, and unwavering commitment to the communities we serve.
