About Aruma
Welcome to Aruma!
We might have a new name, but we’re not the new kids on the block. You once knew us as House with No Steps and The Tipping Foundation – two great organisations, with over 100 years of combined experience, who came together in 2018.
Yes, we’re a disability service provider, but we’re also so much more.
We’re the trusted partner of over 5000 people with a disability throughout the east coast of Australia.
Aruma is leading the new age, the new world of disability support – the NDIS world.
Aruma puts our customers first. And to do this we need you – staff who are brave, bold, and who dare to think differently.
