Werribee

Mambourin Werribee was established in 1982 to provide a wide range of adult training and recreational programs for people with a disability. In May 1987 the centre moved into a new purpose built building opened by the then, Honourable Premier, Mr. John Cain.

The centre is spacious, attractive and modern, comprising large bright training rooms, each with their own exit to paved and grassed outdoor areas. The building is well maintained, providing an attractive learning environment. Mambourin Werribee is user friendly and provides easy access for people with mobility impairments.

Situated 2 kilometres from Werribee and 2 minutes walk to the nearest bus stop the centre offers easy access to the local shopping centre and services.
One of the main features of the centre is that it shares a site with the Mambourin Sensory Garden. There are several attractions of the sensory garden which is built on 2 acres of land, these include the large ponds, herb, and flower beds, picnic and barbecue facilities. The surroundings are inviting and create a relaxed atmosphere for clients, staff and visitors alike.
