The Encounter Community Centre is based in the Victor Harbor area. For the past 49 years we have been providing services to those living with a disability. Since moving to our current site in 2003 we have not only continued our services for those living with a disability but have also expanded our operations.

We are known for our Wooden Toy Factory, where volunteers come together to make high quality, locally crafted wooden toys. We also have a volunteer run Garden Centre and many community programs and activities. Our mission is to provide a place where people throughout the Victor Harbor area, and beyond, can come to a welcoming and inclusive place and feel at home.
