About Montrose

Montrose has a long history of providing services for people with a disability. In 1933, we commenced during the grip of the Poliomyelitis epidemic, which often left survivors with severe disabilities.

Today, Montrose Therapy & Respite Services provides supports to children and young adults with physical disabilities, neuromuscular conditions, developmental delay and autism. We provide Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy and Social Work support, along with Short Stay Accommodation and a Lifestyle & Leisure service. Montrose is a vital presence in the homes, schools and communities of South East Queensland.

We are based in Brisbane with Centres across Queensland including  Brisbane South, Brisbane North, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Slacks Creek, Ipswich and Toowoomba.

We are a values based not-for-profit organisation with any surpluses invested back into providing services for children and families. Montrose is a registered National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provider.

Our Values

Diversity and Inclusion

At Montrose we work together to support our clients and their families to live the lives they choose. We actively foster a welcoming environment through understanding the diversity of our people to support them on

their individual journey. The team at Montrose understand we are part of a broader community that cares for and respects the needs of others.

All Montrose clients, their families and our workers are encouraged to develop a respectful curiosity about each other – who people are, what motivates and influences them so that they can best support each other to experience safety and belonging.

At Montrose inclusion looks like:

• People feeling valued and respected.
• Understanding that a one size fits all approach does not provide equity, so we will provide varying levels of support depending upon need to achieve greater fairness of outcomes for each individual.
• Encouraging everyone to openly contribute their perspectives and utilise their unique talents for the continuous improvement of our organisation.

Charitable Purpose

Montrose is deeply committed to creating, identifying and funding sustainable projects that will provide physical, emotional and social support to people in our community who need our assistance.

These include programs, services and capital projects that provide real benefits to our customers, but are not funded by them or government.

We have a comprehensive process for selecting projects and ensuring they make the best use of our team’s skills and deliver great outcomes for our customers. They are funded through the generous support of our donors and corporate partners to ensure we can continue to provide a range of vital projects each year that meet the changing needs of customers.
