Providing Supported Employment to People With Special Needs

The feeling of independence attained through working is something many people take for granted. However, for people with special needs, many have to fight to feel that independence. At Waverley Social Enterprise, we’re proud to give people with special needs the opportunity to enjoy supported employment opportunities and participate in Social Enterprise in Melbourne so they too can enjoy the independence they deserve. Whether you’re looking for flexible packaging companies, catering or assembly services, contact one of our sites at Notting Hill or Hallam.

Established in November of 1984, Waverley Social Enterprise (Waverley Industries Ltd) has been at the forefront of providing structured and supportive employment opportunities for Melburnians with special needs across the three key areas of our business: catering, packaging and assembly.

We are a not-for-profit organisation with more than 330 people with special needs working at both our Notting Hill and Hallam sites. We’re proud to give adults with an intellectual disability the opportunity to discover and exert their independence in a supportive working environment.

We Offer a Range of Different Services to Suit Your Business

Waverley Social Enterprise places people with special needs in positions of employment across the assembly, packaging and catering industries. Our social enterprise catering has rapidly grown in popularity over recent years, and – through Social Enterprises Melbourne and on-the-job training – provides employees with opportunities to work in one of the most dynamic service industries.
