Inclusive Programs for Individuals with Disabilities

Situated on a 2,000-acre former sheep station by Pindari Dam, Pindari Centre has thrived as an Outdoor Education Centre for over 20 years. Now, under the guidance of educator and youth advocate Barry Rodgers OAM, it includes agricultural and animal welfare programs. This off-grid facility offers an enriching environment for participants with disabilities to grow, connect, and develop life skills.
