What sets our team apart?
Our team live locally, work locally and care locally — and that means we are part of the same community as the people we support. We believe that when support comes from people who understand the local area, it builds trust and comfort in a way that can ’t be replicated by distant providers. We don’t just provide support to people; we work with people, drawing on the strengths, knowledge, and insights that come from living in the same community. Our team bring not only their professional skills but also a personal commitment to your wellbeing, shaped by shared experience and real understanding of our community.

Weather forecasts indicate we may experience rainfall exceeding 300mls commencing Thursday.

Whilst we hope this doesn't happen, as Coffs Coast locals, we know it's best to be prepared! Please use the next couple of days to gather the essentials you need to stay safe – medications, food supplies, charged phone, working torches and a way to monitor the situation such as weather apps, tv or radio.

The Local Difference

At Community Care Options, we work exclusively with the Coffs Coast community.
We work with participants living in the Nambucca, Bellingen, Woolgoolga and Coffs Harbour areas and employ our team directly from these same locations.

Being local means we understand the people, the culture and the unique needs of our region. Decisions are made here, not in a distant head office, so we can respond quickly, personally, and flexibly. This means we know what back roads we can take to get to you during flooding, how long it takes to get from your house to your appointment, how you might be impacted during unexpected disaster events and the importance of being accessible to you if you’d like to chat, face to face. Come in and see us anytime!

📣 Important Announcement: New Aged Care Act and Support at Home Program Begin Tomorrow
We’re entering a new chapter in aged care. Starting 1 November 2025, the new Aged Care Act officially comes into effect, along with the launch of the Support at Home Program.

These reforms mark a significant step forward in improving the quality, flexibility, and transparency of aged care services across Australia. The Support at Home Program replaces the Home Care Packages Program and is designed to better support older people to live independently at home, with care that is timely, tailored, and empowering.

As your trusted not-for-profit provider, Community Care Options will continue to deliver services under the new program. We remain committed to partnering with you—now as your Care Partner—to ensure your care reflects your goals, preferences, and independence.

We’ll be sharing more details soon, but rest assured: we’re here to guide you through the transition and continue providing the high-quality support you deserve.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out - 6650 2000,
