McGrath Bayside Cleveland continue to give a donation to STAR Community Services' from every home they sell. 🏡💙
Recently, Greg and Pam sold properties in Cleveland, Victoria Point and Wynnum West; the donation from each sale is helping seniors get to vital hospital appointments, stay connected to their community and reduce social isolation.
One client, Lisa*, shared:
“I really don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have support from STAR to get to the hospital.”
Thanks to McGrath’s ongoing support, we’re able to reach more people and provide greater assistance during a time of increasing need. THANK YOU!!!

Navigating NDIS may feel overwhelming for some. Our NDIS clients tell us that having access to the right information at the right time is very important.

That's why we're hosting NDIS Care Conversations. Small group sessions for NDIS participants to discuss their goals and how to progress in their NDIS journey.
✅These sessions are free to attend.
✅Bookings are necessary.
📍Choose from Ipswich, Cleveland, or Logan.
