Eskleigh Foundation Inc Eskleigh is a not-for-profit providing high quality support to people with a disability and people needing respite

We are governed by a passionate Board of Directors, strongly committed to Eskleigh’s mission, and are greatly reliant on the financial support and generosity of the Tasmanian community. Eskleigh is staffed by paid, qualified employees and volunteers. We operate a 42 bed supported accommodation with full time, qualified nursing and support staff at Eskleigh Home in Perth, Northern Tasmania. We also offer contemporary residential homes in Longford, Kings Meadows, Montrose and Mornington, where people with a disability requiring moderate support live as part of a group home arrangement. Both Eskleigh Home and the residential homes support and accommodate younger adults with varying levels of intellectual or physical disability, including disabilities caused by an Acquired Brain Injury. Eskleigh also boasts a premier statewide community support network, offering in-home care and respite services, enabling people with a disability to stay in the comfort of their own home with full support and daily healthcare. Delivering a real quality of life Eskleigh enables hundreds of Tasmanians with a range of disabilities to enjoy a meaningful, active and fulfilling way of life. Established in 1947, we have a long and proud history supporting people with a disability at a range of levels so that they may enjoy a quality of life not otherwise possible. With our supported accommodation options, attendant care and respite services and community events, Eskleigh supports and encourages clients to embrace life and become active members of their community, enriching not only the lives of people with a disability but feeding back into a prosperous Tasmanian community.

We just received the most wonderful gift from the Northern Suburbs Community Shed!

On Friday, they generously donated two specialist disability bikes—one for an adult and one for a child.

Pictured are Sandra and Malcolm from the shed, who made this wonderful contribution possible. The children’s bike will be going to one of the children we support in the NW, while the adult bike will stay here in Perth.

These bikes are quite expensive, so this donation is truly amazing! Thank you, Northern Suburbs Community Shed, for your incredible support! Such a wonderful gift at Christmas!

Christmas blew into Perth on Saturday afternoon and was greeted many smiling faces at the 1st Annual Perth Community Christmas Celebration held at Eskleigh, Everyone enjoyed tours of the historic property and a range of free activities: face painting, balloon art, laser tag, games, crafts, music, market stalls, and food and coffee from local providers. Santa arrived courtesy of the Perth Fire Brigade, and as the weather began to clear everyone enjoyed a lovely time together.

The event was sponsored and organised by Perth Tasmania Historical Society, Perth Lions, Perth Baptist Church, the Eskleigh Foundation, Perth Community Progress Association, Perth Fire Brigade and the Northern Midlands Council. Mark your calendar for an even brighter and better celebration in 2026.
