Warrah’s first residential cottage was
built at 20 Harris Road, Dural, in 1969. Since then, with ongoing
government financial assistance, Warrah’s residential services have
grown and evolved. Warrah now has 10 residential cottages, or Group
Homes, which make up Warrah’s Adult Residential Services; they
accommodate 49 people with intellectual disabilities. Six of the 10
Group Homes are located on the Harris Road site and they accommodate 30
residents. The other four Group Homes (and 19 people) are spread through
suburbs in north-west Sydney. Programs are based on the principles and
methods oh Rudolf Steiner and the New South Wales Disability Services
Act (1993). |

Residents live in small groups in cottage
style homes in a friendly, family-like environment. The daily
routine is not institutional or medical in nature. Residents are
encouraged to make decisions about their own life style and
activities. There is a deep respect for personal freedom and
individual needs.
Emphasis is placed on the development of the whole human being
in a social sense and each resident is encouraged to interact
within the group and with the wider community. |
The general eligibility criteria for
Warrah’ Adult Residential Services are that individuals are
at least 18 years of age, have left school and have a
primary intellectual disability. Access can only be gained
through ADHC (www.dadhc.nsw.gov.au/).
