Welcome to Meraki Foundation
Meraki Foundation is a not-for-profit charity which provides person centred and strength-based support for all people across NSW communities. Meraki provides social support for people with disabilities and various communities through specialised programs.
Our Story
Meraki was established after many years of experience within the social services industry, providing a vast range of support for young people in need. We began as a diligent transportation service, organising group transportation for young people of all abilities to participate in group outings across Sydney.
Now more than 15 years later, we have expanded and are proud to
support people all across the state while still providing our original transportation services that started our passion, and more than that, we now offer one-on-one support for young people and people with a disability. Over the years, we also discovered a need for more direct and specific programs in community settings, alongside our social and disability work.
Meet the Team
Our staff are experienced within the Social Welfare, Disability, and Community sectors. We are passionate about empowering and supporting you, and we want to help you have a positive quality of life with independence and pride.
Despite being established in 2009, the staff at Meraki Foundation make up for over 70 years of combined experience in the social, disability, and community services industries. Our team is demographically diverse with support workers of all ages, qualifications, cultures, locations, and life experiences.
Meraki support workers continue to up-skill their education and training, with support workers constantly renewing and expanding their knowledge and skills through mini-courses and training days endorsed by the Foundation.
Our Vision and Values
We aim to strengthen and empower communities

We are on a mission to engage and support the members of our growing communities. Together with local schools, businesses, and other community organisations across South West Sydney, we deliver programs that make a difference.
