Respect Attitude Willingness Resilience
Wordfromth Director
Hi Everyone, I hope you ' re all enjoying the warmer days Spring is certainly here!
At RAWR Support Services, our vision is to Connect Individuals with Opportunities, and we ’ re thrilled to see evidence of this. The RAWR Workshop has been busy producing fantastic items, now available in our RAWR Store. This store isn’t just a shop; it’s a showcase of the incredible talents and creativity of our participants. The RAWR Store is available to anyone with a disability who would like to showcase their creations.
We also want to take a moment to acknowledge the wonderful work our support workers do every day, across three locations, Stanthorpe, Warwick and Toowoomba areas. Their dedication and care play a crucial role in empowering our participants, helping them reach their full potential and contribute to our community in meaningful ways.
Best regards, Dave Managing director at
