Sunraysia Residential Services Inc. (SRS) will celebrate 50 years of empowering people with disability and supporting older members of our community to live meaningful, connected and independent lives in 2026, with the broader Sunraysia community invited to help mark the milestone.
The 50th Birthday celebration will be held on Thursday 22 October 2026, from 1:00pm to 6:00pm at SRS Benetook Farm.
The event will bring together participants, families, staff, volunteers, board members, community partners and supporters to celebrate the organisation’s rich history, remarkable achievements and exciting future.
Guests will enjoy an afternoon of entertainment, activities and hospitality in the picturesque surroundings of Benetook Farm.
“Our 50th anniversary is more than a celebration of our history. It is a celebration of resilience, innovation and the countless individuals who have helped make SRS a trusted and valued part of our community,” SRS Chief Executive Officer Marian Luehman said.
“Fifty years is a remarkable achievement, but our story has always been about people. Every participant, family member, staff member, volunteer and supporter has played a role in shaping SRS into the organisation it is today. This celebration is our opportunity to say thank you, while looking ahead to the next 50 years and beyond.”
Over five decades, SRS has grown into one of the region’s most respected disability support and aged care providers, but its beginnings were humble.
The 50th Birthday celebration will honour the past, celebrate the present and inspire the future of disability and aged care support throughout Sunraysia.
