We’re so proud of all our social enterprises, and our newest, Viva’s 3 Veg Farm, is no different 🌱 Already creating meaningful employment opportunities, the farm is preparing to bring you a fresh veggie subscription service very soon.

In the meantime, you can enjoy the harvest at Café VIVA, available now in new menu items and direct from the produce fridge.

If you aren’t already following Viva’s 3 Veg Farm or Café VIVA, give them a follow today and come along for the journey.

A new subscription service is just one way to try the produce.

We are nearing completion of our largest residential build to date in Bathurst, a purpose-designed group home shaped by the recommendations of the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability and our commitment to placing people with disability at the centre of decisions.

The design reflects best practice standards for safety and quality. Recent announcements confirming mandatory registration for Supported Independent Living and digital platform providers reinforce the importance of safeguards that support quality, safety and transparency, reforms Vivability strongly supports.

Thank you to our local builder Kenwood Homes for delivering this significant project. We look forward to welcoming residents soon.
