Welcome to the 2019 Bake...

Last year we celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Association and the commencement of Aurora Disability Services' day programme.

This year, as we are looking towards the future we'll also be exploring the past on this blog - both the history associated with the Anzac tradition and Aurora.

So please join us as we again bake up a storm for 13 days. As always the funds raised will assist the continued operation of our programmes and facilities.


And of course we wouldn't be able to do this without our many supporters - from the businesses and organisations selling the biscuits for us, suppliers, volunteers; and of course all our loyal customers who return year after year to buy our biscuits (we hope you are enjoying some as you check out our blog!) - a big thank you to all of you.

If you would like a basket of biscuits for your business to sell, please email us at
auroradisability@auroradisability.org.au or call us on 6273 0916.

It's official!!!


Our biscuits have passed the rigorous dual taste test!

Graeme is a man of many roles. He is himself an RSL Anzac of the Year, but his involvement with Aurora predates the recipe we now use to bake our Anzacs. In the early days he supported his wife Joy and their family in setting up the organisation. This involved a great many building and maintenance tasks but he remains a frequent visitor these days, and always has a smile and kind word for everyone.

And quietly, often unnoticed, he does all those jobs that make our life so much more smooth running and pleasant. Where would we be without his regular tip runs, collecting the garbage from all our facilities? During the Anzac Bake this is a daily event!!! And he's always happy to be involved in anything we spring on him, from official taste tester to scrutineer of competitions, and whatever else we can think of.

It's not only at Aurora however, that Graeme has spent many hours volunteering...in over 45 years he has contributed to many community organisations and their management bodies. Truly worthy of recognition by the Glenorchy City Council for Outstanding Community Service, and the RSL Anzac of the Year Award in 1996 “For Exceptional Service to the Australian Community demonstrating compassion, endurance and dedication”.

We think a big thank you from all of us might be in order!
