Noah’s Ark library memberships are open to families, carers, organisations and schools, this extends to anyone who cares for or works with a child or children with special needs. No formal diagnosis of a disability or special need is required before becoming a member.
We are particularly interested in assisting with early intervention and have a range of toys and resources that can be used while families are waiting for a formal diagnosis.

Noah's Ark Mobile delivery service visits families and groups within a radius of 350km of Perth. The mobile service visits centres and families every 4 – 8 weeks (excluding school holidays). When family or group membership cannot be offered due to the mobile timetable, the postal service is available, or the prospective member’s name is put on a waiting list. Services will be offered when resources become available in that area. Information on local community toy libraries is provided here.
