About Us
Welcome to Companion Caring, a farm-stay that provides services for NDIS-eligible individuals.
We aim to create a sense of community where everyone is supported to achieve their goals and lead fulfilling and independent lives. We firmly believe that with the right support, anyone can accomplish what they set their minds to.
We are a close-knit family of eight who own a beautiful 60-acre Gippsland farm dedicated to enriching the lives of people with disabilities. For over two decades, we have worked tirelessly in the disability sector, helping countless individuals achieve their goals.
Our farm offers a range of NDIS respite accommodation and outdoor experiences, with a team dedicated to providing opportunities for skill development. We have tailored programs designed to cultivate essential day-to-day life skills and valuable work skills that can pave the way for real-world employment.
Our Mission
We strive to ensure that every individual, regardless of the hurdles they encounter, has equal opportunities to experience the best life can offer.
Our environment is one of nurturing, inspiration, and empowerment, where individuals are encouraged to develop the necessary skills to become independent and self-sufficient. The participant is at the core of everything we do and we strive not only to meet but surpass our clients’ expectations.
