Anowah Community Living

What Anowah Community Living does

Anowah Community Living Ltd is a family-founded, not-for-profit registered charity and NDIS-registered disability service provider headquartered at 157-167 Koala Way, Horsley Park, NSW, with operations across South West Sydney (Fairfield, Liverpool and Cabramatta LGAs). Founded in 1967, the organisation supports adults with disability through three integrated service lines: Home & Living Options (Supported Independent Living, Individualised Living Options, Short-Term Respite and Drop-in Support), Hub — Centre & Community Programs (creative arts, cooking, music therapy, social activities and community access), and Support Coordination (NDIS plan navigation and service connection). The property portfolio features rural-style, low-stimulus settings on five acres of recreational space designed for comfort and wellbeing.

The business model is NDIS fee-for-service at its core, with participants' plan funding flowing through registered service delivery by Anowah's own staff in Anowah-owned homes and community facilities; a secondary donations stream funds capital upgrades such as ceiling hoists, accessible bathrooms, sensory spaces and program resources. There is no proprietary technology platform — service delivery is staff-led under person-centred, goal-focused practice — and the go-to-market is sales-led, driven by direct enquiry, community expos, social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn) and NDIS referral channels. Pricing is plan-based and quote-driven rather than publicly listed, with billing occurring against multi-year NDIS plan contracts; specific price points are not disclosed.

Regulatory positioning is a key part of the operating model: Anowah holds NDIS Provider registration (405 000 3373) under the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission and is separately registered as a Community Housing Provider. The organisation employs 11–50 staff under a leadership team with deep sector tenure (e.g., 21–35 years), is governed by a Board that includes long-standing family members, and operates as a single-jurisdiction Australian private limited company (ACN 642 699 803, ABN 23 922 372 767) with no external private equity, venture capital or parent ownership and no recorded M&A, funding rounds or restructuring events beyond its historical transition from grant funding to the NDIS fee-for-service regime.
