Who we are.

The story behind Edu.Change

Edu.Change was created as a direct result of the work Edu. does with local schools and organisations. The founder noticed a distinct lack of support for young adults with disabilities in the local community and wanted to create a life skill program post school. The program aims to support these young adults transitioning from school, allowing them to have access to tertiary education and similar experiences to their peers. Whilst options to enter employment were available, they did not suit a large amount of the community

What we do.

Edu.Change staff have pre-existing relationships with local schools, young people, parents/carers and community organisations. Therefore, Edu.Change staff have first hand knowledge of the issues children and young adults with disabilities are experiencing.

From these pre-existing relationships, we have identified that there are several gaps in support young adults with disabilities in the local community.

Our Vision

We are committed to helping as many children and young adults along their journey as possible. Our Vision is to create local opportunities to maximise growth and impact in every school, education institution and organisation. We aim to through our ‘Mission’ and our ‘Values’.

Our Mission

Our Mission is to demonstrate impact and drive change through best practice, that is demonstrated through the use of clear evidence of learning and wellbeing outcomes.
