Vanguard Laundry is a state-of-the-art, not-for-profit commercial laundry in Toowoomba, Queensland. Our mission is to wash away barriers to employment for people with a lived experience of mental health challenges and other disadvantage. Since we opened in December 2016, we have offered employment to more than 160 people.
