Yooralla is a non-profit disability support and community service provider in Victoria, Australia. Yooralla assists those who live with a disability acquired from birth, accident, ill health or age.

It offers pre-school, school-aged and adult therapy services, residential accommodation, respite in and out of home, equipment, advocacy, employment and recreation services. Yooralla's prides itself in the supports it provides and has a commitment to providing these within a person-centred framework.

Sister Faith started Yooralla when she founded a kindergarten for crippled children in 1918 in Carlton during a polio epidemic. Yooralla is an indigenous word meaning 'place of love'.
