welcome to the story of why day

Why Day Services was unearthed in Whyalla, South Australia in November 2022. The name “Why Day” is a mission statement in itself. The “Why” in the name invites us to question our purpose, urging us to transform these questions into actions.

It asks, “Why “Why not today?” Why not make a difference today? Why not learn something new, try something different, or help someone else?”. And so, “Day” was added to signify the present, the here and now, each day full of potential, of growth, and opportunities for connection. It served as a reminder that every day could be a meaningful day. It encouraged seizing the ‘day’ to make our ‘why’ happen.

We emerged as a response to the needs of our community here in Whyalla. Families, caregivers, and participants of the NDIS were searching for more opportunities due to the closure and lack of group-based service providers.

“Our response was to craft a welcoming and secure space where everyone feels they belong.”

In the short time we have been providing services our participants have:

  • Embarked on a magical, life-changing cruise-ship experience visiting Kangaroo Island
  • Day-tripped to places of interest in our region such as Port Augusta, Point Lowly, Kimba, Cowell and Quorn
  • Entered their creative arts in the annual Whyalla Show
  • Explored the Whyalla coastline on an accessible boat tour of the Australian Giant Cuttlefish
  • Successfully organised, planned and carried out an interstate adventure

And much, much more!
