About Allevia

Allevia is a charitable, not-for-profit, non-government, incorporated Association (Inc. No. Y0254103). It has financial members, is governed by a Management Committee, and has its own registered Constitution.

Allevia offers the highest quality services to people with a disability, children, and young people in the community today. Since 1978, we have provided superior service to our clients and have assisted them in achieving their goals. Our 39 years of experience and commitment to excellence have earned us the reputation as the best community service organisation of its type in the Metro-South Region of Sydney, NSW.

Allevia was initially established to provide for the needs of the community of Bankstown through the Toy Library and Bankstown Occasional Care. The Association has expanded over the past 12 years to now offer a range of services to hundreds of people (adults, children, and families) from 0 to 65 years of age, many with a disability.

Our Values

We value every person as an individual.

In serving the community we value:

Respect – for people with a disability and children and young people as valued human beings.

Trust – earned through mutual understanding and shared experience.

Professionalism – personal and collective commitment to enacting the principles of good practice in everything we do as an organisation, and in our expectations of others.

Teamwork – working together and supporting each other.

Persistence – never giving up and keeping the goal firmly in view.

Resourcefulness – our ability to come up with new and better ideas and to keep trying when others have given up or failed.

Unwavering commitment to human rights.

Open Communication – being prepared to listen without judgment and participate in discussions which promote shared understanding.
