Local Community

Caring for a child can be tough and very challenging. While every child is a joy to their parents, families of children with a disability find simple everyday living more difficult. Financial assistance, respite care - time out and community support can make a world of difference.

The Westfield Community Program was launched in early 2008 to address these needs in our local communities. Each Westfield Centre across Australia partners with a local disability service provider to help improve the quality of life for children with disabilities and their families.

Westfield Miranda encourages you to support its local community partner Sylvanvale Foundation.

Sylvanvale Foundation

Get Inspired
Sylvanvale Foundation has been providing support to people with an intellectual disability for over 60 years. Sylvanvale's Children’s Services support approximately 200 children and families across Sydney.

Sylvanvale supports children through a variety of programs including early intervention & education, therapy, respite and after school & vacation care programs. By observing a child's individual strengths and interests, and by communicating with families about needs, Sylvanvale is able to develop individual programs that actively engage children and support families.

Sylvanvale's programs encourage children to achieve growth in all areas of their development. They use a wide variety of materials, equipment and learning strategies to assist children in gaining the knowledge and confidence to explore their world.
