About Terama
Sixty years of showing up.
Terama Industries Inc is a community-based, not-for-profit charity in Gosford, NSW. Since 1965 we have provided supported employment and supported accommodation for people with disability — because everyone deserves good work, a real home and a community that cares.
Our mission
To create opportunities for people with disability to live, work and participate fully in their community — with dignity, choice and genuine support that adapts to each person, not the other way around.
Who we support
We work with adults and young people with disability across the Central Coast — including school leavers taking their first steps into work, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, and people experiencing financial disadvantage. Every journey starts with a conversation.

What Guides Us
Values we live by.
Person first, always
We see the person before the disability. Every plan, job and home is shaped around individual goals, strengths and choices.
Community at the heart
Founded by local families, run for local people. We keep our roots deep in the Central Coast and our doors open to it.
Quality you can trust
As an ACNC-registered charity we hold ourselves to high standards of safety, transparency and accountability — and report on it every year.
Our Story
From a family's idea to a Central Coast institution.
Terama Industries is founded in Gosford by a group of local families who wanted something better for their children with disability: real work, real friendship and a real place in the community.
The workshop grows. Terama becomes a trusted employer on the Central Coast, providing supported jobs in packaging, assembly and manufacturing for dozens of local workers with disability.
Supported accommodation opens its doors, giving residents a safe, stable home and the daily living support to build independence and lasting community connections.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) arrives in NSW. Terama adapts its services to give participants more choice and control over the supports they receive.
More than sixty years on, Terama remains a medium-sized, community-based charity registered with the ACNC — still doing what those founding families set out to do: good work, a real home, a community that cares.
