Finding Yellow - NDIS Registered Provider

We provide Support Coordination, Accomodation and Community Support for people with disabilities. The group gained swift support from the Hunter community.

In the 1970s, a group of local parents came together with one goal: to improve care and support services for people with disability in the Hunter region. As parents of children with disability, they recognised that existing services were insufficient and needed to change. They were determined to provide their children and future generations with the quality support they deserved as valuable members of society. Tireless community fundraising efforts led to the opening of Cessnock Hostel in 1982, finally providing much-needed support to local residents with disability. In 2013, our organisation was renamed “Finding Yellow”. The name represents our unwavering commitment to the community and our determination to discover better resources, stronger community networks, and improved facilities for our clients. It is also a reflection of our clients’ individual journeys towards improved confidence, independence, goal success, and fulfilment. Starting with a handful of determined parents, Finding Yellow now offers an extensive range of disability support services to the local Hunter region.

Steven had a full day out and about! 💛

He picked up some new clothes he’s pretty chuffed with, signed up as an RSL member, and wrapped it all up with a well-earned milkshake by the Foreshore ☀️

A great mix of errands, achievements, and a little time to relax.
