What We Offer
Community Participation and Social Engagement
At Care Collective we understand that engaging and interacting with others is a crucial and joyous part of life. As one of NDIS most popular supports we will help implement your plan to ensure that you get out into the community, try new and exciting activities, meet other people and improve your overall well being and health. We strive to ensure we are well connected to service providers and various community activity organisations to find suitable interests and hobbies for each one of our clients. We are able to offer variety, safety and enjoyment by tailoring or searching to each individual client’s preferences. We have connections to individual programs or group activities. This is inclusive of clubs, hobbies, health improvement, learning new skills or volunteering for passion projects. It is our pleasure and role to support you through these activities and ensure your complete comfort, safety and engagement.
Development of Life Skills
Care Collective strives to enable participants and build their skill set to be able to confidently engage in activities of their choosing. This allows them to gain independence, confidence and control. We work collaboratively to gain an in-depth understanding of your goals, needs and support them to achieve this. This is included but not limited to the below:
Meal Planning and Preperation
We are able to help you with the preparation of healthy meal plans that meet all of your nutritional needs.

We aim to build as much independence as the participant desires.
Travel Training in Road Safety and Public Transport
We aim to meet all of our participants’ needs both inside and outside the home. We are happy to plan clients’ journeys when accessing the community and are able to offer assistance through public means of transport or provide private transportation based on individual preferences. We further have access to great safety information and are able to relay this to clients in effective ways. We understand how important it is that clients are able to access the community safely.
Support to Establish Meaningful Relationships
Relationships in the form of friendships and loved ones are a crucial part of everyone’s lives. We understand that sometimes it can be difficult to start or maintain these relationships and therefore are able to provide guidance and assistance through forms of community groups, collaborative classes and team building exercises. We aim to leave our clients with wide social networks and friendships that share common interests.
