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.
