Welcome to...2024, 36 years of continuous service to our community!

From the first biscuit baked to raise funds for the organisation, the tradition has continued and assists the organisation to provide programmes, services and support to many and maintain the organisation's facilities.

With 13 days of baking this year from 8 to 24 April, we are ready to bake and deliver our delicious golden biscuits far and wide.

We invite all the readers of our blog to join us again this year.

As always, we would not be able to successfully hold an Anzac Bake without our many supporters - from the businesses and organisations selling the biscuits for us, suppliers, volunteers; and of course all our loyal customers who return year after year to buy our biscuits (we hope you are enjoying some as you check out our blog!) - a big thank you to all of you.

If you would like a basket of biscuits for your business to sell, please email us at
auroradisability@auroradisability.org.au or call us on 6273 0916.
