Our Story

Our organisation, "Disabled and Carers Association Inc", was established in 2009 by a person who has had a disability  for the last 33 years and his family with help from families  of some other people with  disabilities and friends.

The catalyst for the formation of our association was the lack of suitable organisations in our local area that were available to support our needs in a way we desired.

Our organisation is made up of people with over 25 years’ experience. These experiences range from having a disability to the provision of disability services; this includes the founding and creation of disability services, coordination of services, management, participation on boards as directors, carers and customers/clients.
 
With this combined experience and knowledge we have created the Disabled and Carers Association Inc. We now deliver professional services to customers/client’s, with the philosophies of a true NOT FOR PROFIT organisation that operates with integrity and is committed to the best interests and provision of services for all.

All customers and/or their families and carers are invited to become members of Disabled and Carers Association Inc, to allow them to have more control and a better say about their needs in an  endeavour  to live their lives with dignity and choice.

Disabled and Carers Association actively adheres to, and promotes the objectives and principals of the Disability Act 2006.
