Hahndorf Academy
Situated in the centre of the picturesque village of Hahndorf in the Adelaide Hills, the Hahndorf Academy is a magical place where visual arts and heritage meet.
The Academy Shop showcases quality hand crafted products by local and regional artists and designers. We are proud to stock works from over 100 local artists in our beautiful shop including glass, jewellery, prints, cards, skin care, books, clothing and original artwork.
There is an ever-changing panorama of contemporary visual art to discover in our Gallery,
You can also absorb the local history in our German Migration Museum and be captivated by objects and stories relating to the lives of Hahndorf’s pioneering families. Starting out as a boarding school, and later a maternity hospital, if the walls of the 19th Century Heritage building could talk they would tell remarkable stories of history and courage and fear and excitement as early settlers created new lives for themselves.

Volunteer to make a difference
Our volunteer program is dedicated to providing support and companionship to older adults. We believe that every person has the right to a good quality of life.
Our volunteers play a key role in delivering the care and social support older people need and encouraging healthy ageing. Our program offers a wide range of opportunities for individuals who want to make a difference in the lives of seniors.
For example, you can choose to visit socially with residents in an aged care home or assist them with leisure and wellness activities. You might prefer to participate in events, drive a buggy in a retirement village or even support in the café.
Whether for a few hours a week or a few hours a month, you can make a difference in our community. The program is not just about the benefits for our residents and clients, it is also rewarding for volunteers. You have the opportunity to meet new people, learn new skills, and gain valuable experience working with older adults.
Our volunteer team will work with you so that you are matched with a role that suits your skills and interests.
