G'Day and Welcome to Wattle Tree Support Services
After more than 30 years working in the disability and mental health sectors, I have come to understand that great support begins with genuinely caring about people. In roles as a Support Worker, Case Manager, and Support Coordinator, I have seen how the right housing and support can transform lives, fostering independence, confidence, and a sense of belonging.
This belief—that every person deserves the very best opportunities, support, and quality of life—inspired the creation of Wattle Tree. Our mission is simple: to provide high-quality housing and person-centred support that empowers people to live the lives they choose, with dignity, respect, and compassion.
Our Story
In 2021, we established Wattle Tree Country Retreat, offering farm-stay respite and short-term accommodation services. As our business grew, it became clear that there was a significant need for high-quality accommodation, skilled support staff, and flexible care services within our local region.
With strong community support and the advantage of being located close to Maryborough, which offers a range of exceptional services, we recognised an opportunity to expand our impact. This led to the evolution from Wattle Tree Country Retreat into Wattle Tree Support Services, enabling us to provide a broader range of supports and better meet the diverse needs of our community.
Today, Wattle Tree Support Services delivers personalised support across disability, respite, short-term accommodation, Transport Accident Commission (TAC) services, and aged care services. Our focus is on empowering individuals to live independently, remain connected to their communities, and achieve their personal goals through compassionate, high-quality care tailored to their unique needs.
