About us

The Mai-Wel Group is a thriving, client focused, not for profit company providing a diverse range of services to people with a disability across the Hunter. The Mai-Wel Group was born from the vision of a few families in the 1960's who wanted to provide their children with a disability an outlet for education, opportunity and purposeful employment.

Not only is The Mai-Wel Group one of the larger Disability Service Providers in the Lower Hunter Region, but the company is now a major employer with more than 110 supported employees (people with a disability) and 180 full/part time staff employed to provide services and support to more than 800 people with a disability.

The Mai-Wel Group is focused on developing opportunities that advance the lives of people with a disability, allowing the individual to realise their goals for life and provide access, integration and opportunity for all.

One of our major challenges is the need to respond to the impact of ageing which has already, and will continue to create a greater demand for services for those people with a disability who have ageing carers or who are ageing themselves.

The Mai-Wel Group may impact on you in a number of ways; as a person living with a disability, as a family member, as a business who needs a quality reliable supplier or as a donor who cares about the work we do and wants to help us to do more.
