𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗶𝘀 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻!
Wangarang’s Life Skills and Recreation team have proudly celebrated the official opening of our new sensory space The Gold Room, generously funded by Newmont.

Designed to provide a calming, inclusive, and engaging environment, The Gold Room supports our participants to learn new skills and be creative. The massive interactive whiteboard provides a range of sensory experiences, including puzzles, digital art, video creation and games. And importantly, the space is relaxed, quiet and peaceful for when participants just want to find their calm.

A huge thank you to Rami Ghattas – Manager, Sustaining Capital and Newmont’s disability pillar leader, for cutting the ribbon and officially opening this exciting new space. We are incredibly grateful for Newmont’s ongoing support of our community programs. Thanks also to Nicola Searle, Kate Lapointe and Nicole Morris from the Newmont team for being part of the celebration.

Our Wangarang's Life Skills & Recreation crew had the BEST day at the Parkes Elvis Festival!
From shopping and soaking up the performances to dancing the day away. Memories were made, and smiles were nonstop.
Long live a good time 🎶✨

We’re thrilled to be launching our newest disability social enterprise next month and are on the lookout for the right person to help bring it to life from the ground up.

If you love great customer service, enjoy coaching and training others, and want a role where you can make a genuine difference every single day, this could be your fresh start for the year.

Experience in disability support and/or barista skills is highly regarded, but not essential. What matters most to us is attitude, commitment, and a willingness to learn — we’re happy to train the rest.

If you’re ready to be part of something meaningful and exciting from the very beginning, we’d love to hear from you 💛
