ANZAC Day Preparations at Caringa’s Castle Hub
This week, Caringa’s Castle Hub community has been busy preparing for ANZAC Day 🌺
Through meaningful participation, our community has been building capacity by cooking traditional ANZAC biscuits for one another, fostering creativity by creating ANZAC Day wreaths, and coming together to acknowledge the service and sacrifices of Australians who have and who continue to defended our beautiful country.
A heartfelt time of connection, reflection, and respect. Lest we forget. ❤️

💙 World Autism Awareness Day 💙
Today, we acknowledge and celebrate people on the autism spectrum and recognise the diversity, strengths and unique perspectives they bring to our community.
At Caringa, we are proud to support autistic individuals and their families every day—listening, learning, and working alongside them to create opportunities for inclusion, choice and meaningful connection.
Today is also a reminder that understanding, acceptance and support should extend beyond one day. By embracing neurodiversity, we help build a more inclusive community where everyone belongs.
Let’s celebrate difference, amplify autistic voices, and continue striving for a society where people are supported to live the lives they choose. 💙

A huge thank you to Newcastle Knights stars Bo Vette-Welsh & Shanice Parker, along with Sydney Roosters player Milly Elliott, who were amazing supports for our clients on the day. Your encouragement, energy and guidance made a real difference! 🙌
Our clients loved meeting new people, building skills and getting out in the community — all while having heaps of fun. Check out the action! 🌟

💙 Did you know Caringa provides fee‑free, obligation‑free NDIS Plan Scans? 💙

Navigating the NDIS can feel overwhelming — especially if you don’t have a Support Coordinator to guide you. Understanding your plan, how to use your funding, and how to work toward your goals shouldn’t be stressful.
That’s where we come in.

At Caringa, our team offers free, obligation‑free NDIS Plan Scans to help you:
✅ Understand your funding
✅ Explore supports that align with your goals
✅ Learn how to make the most of your plan
✅ Feel confident and empowered in your NDIS journey

If you or someone you know requires support understanding an NDIS plan or is feeling overwhelmed, reach out — we’re here to help.

Our Story

Caringa supports the experience and enjoyment of ‘A Complete Life’ with choice and independence.

Caringa Australia Limited (Caringa) is a diverse, mission-focussed, values-based and socially responsible organisation which started in Grafton, NSW and now operates across the Clarence Valley and Coffs Harbour Council areas. Caringa is a leading provider of National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) supports and services. Caringa has been operating since 1953 when the community first raised funds to start a school for children with disability. Over time, Caringa has grown into an innovative and professional organisation offering people with disability a diverse range of supports and services. We continue to evolve to meet contemporary demand and to co-design services with clients.
