McNamara Care and Support - MCAS

We are a disability support provider that provides the highest level service to people living with a disability throughout Melbourne.

We are a small business disability support service that values clients as individuals and prioritises building a positive and safe environment that embraces honesty and open communication. What makes us unique is our simplest, yet highest, priority which is for our clients to have fun. We ready our support workers to incorporate being a mentor and friend into their role and we make a great effort to help our clients have experiences, through events and activities, that they have found challenging to be a part of. Our managing team are highly familiar, both personally and professionally, with the challenges and adversities faced by both people with disabilities as well as their families/ guardians, and therefore approach our work with compassion and empathy, as well as honesty and integrity. Being a small business allows us to dedicate our time towards focusing on clients, tailoring our operations according to their needs. Clients can be reassured that with us, they will be taken seriously, to the extent that each client will have their own case manager and employee/s that are hand-selected for them. Both employees and programs for clients will be organised according to each client’s unique needs.

🌟 Participant Spotlight: Rayyan 🌟

Today we’re shining the spotlight on the wonderful Rayyan, a true family man at heart! 🥰

Rayyan loves nothing more than jumping in the car for a scenic drive, cruising along while listening to his favourite music 🎶🚗

And of course… the extra special days might include a cheeky stop at Hungry Jack’s - his favourite treat! 🍟👑

With his infectious smile and bright energy, Rayyan has a way of instantly lifting the mood of everyone around him 😊✨

Rayyan also enjoys exploring different parks, spending time out in nature, and winding down with his favourite videos on his phone 🍃🍂

Alongside all of this, he has been doing an amazing job building his independence skills, and it’s been so rewarding watching his confidence grow each day 🙌✨

Rayyan, you’re an absolute pleasure to support and we love being part of your journey! 🤩

✨ Participant Spotlight: Brett! ✨

We’ve loved seeing Brett make the most of his passions and interests lately!

🏉 A huge Essendon fan, Brett spent this season cheering on his team at several games, and even watched the Grand Final with his support assistant Josh - a highlight he absolutely loved! ❤️🖤

🌆 Brett recently visited the Eureka Skydeck, taking in the incredible views from one of Melbourne’s most iconic spots.

🎉 When it comes to games and fun, Brett is in his element! He never misses his weekly bingo, is a big fan of the TV show Lingo, and has been loving monthly music bingo - combining two of his favourite things in one.

We’re so proud of Brett for getting out, exploring new experiences, and embracing the things that make him happy. Keep shining, Brett! 😁🌟

🌴☀️ Vaughan’s been living it up in Cairns! ☀️🌴

He and his support assistant Josh recently headed north for a holiday packed with adventure, relaxation, and plenty of good food.

From exploring the magical Daintree Rainforest and cooling off at Mossman Gorge, to soaking up the sun at the beach, this trip had it all! 🏖️🌿

They turned up the fun with a bit of white water rafting, some friendly competition at bowling, and even whipped up some seriously good looking burgers 🍔🔥 (chef skills on point Vaughan!).

Of course, no holiday is complete without plenty of delicious meals and coffee breaks along the way. ☕

What an awesome little vacay, thanks for letting us share the ride Vaughan! 🙌✨

🧠 World Mental Health Day! 🌏
Theme: “Access to Services - Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies”

Today we recognise that mental health is just as important as physical health, especially during life’s toughest moments.

At McNamara Care & Support, we see every day how connection, understanding and access to the right support can change lives. No one should ever have to face challenges alone. 💚

💬 Reach Out & Check In
A simple message or call can make all the difference.

🤝 Access Matters
This year’s theme reminds us that mental health support should be available to everyone, especially those affected by crisis or trauma.

🌱 Together We Heal
Let’s keep building communities grounded in kindness, connection and care, because when we support each other, we all grow stronger. 💛

🌼💛 R U OK? Day 💛🌼

Today is a reminder that checking in with one another truly matters.

Asking “Are you okay?” can look different for everyone, it might be a chat, a text, a picture, or simply sitting together. For someone who is non-verbal, it could mean using a communication device, offering choices, noticing body language, or being present with patience and care.

No matter how we connect, what matters most is showing kindness and listening with compassion.

Together, let’s keep building a community where every voice is respected, and no one feels alone. 🤝✨

🌟🌈 July is Disability Pride Month! 💙💫

Disability Pride is about visibility, acceptance, and empowerment - not just this month, but every day. It’s a time to celebrate the strength, resilience, and achievements of the disability community, and to keep challenging outdated attitudes and barriers.

As beautifully described, disability pride means “accepting and honouring each person’s uniqueness and seeing it as a natural and beautiful part of human diversity.” 💜

This month (and always), we stand for:
💥 Pride in identity
💥 Accessibility and equity
💥 Amplifying disabled voices
💥 Celebrating uniqueness

To our incredible participants, dedicated team, families, guardians, and wider community, thank you for inspiring us every day. We’re proud to walk alongside you. 💪✨
