Learn more about our brilliant disability supports
At CatholicCare we focus on ability.
We’re all about helping our clients bring out the best in themselves and assisting families to navigate the NDIS to get the supports they need. We are enablers, facilitators, coaches and friends.
We know people want to have fun, learn new sills, make friends and express themselves and we have a range of brilliant programs to make this a reality.
No-one is judging me and that's a relief. I can be who I want to be here.
