Since 1990 Varuna has been a unique national writers' centre, and has gained an excellent reputation for providing support for the professional development of Australian writers. Varuna offers a variety of writing programs throughout the year to Australian writers of ability and commitment, including Retreat Fellowships, Development Forums, mentorships and editorial programs.
