Care Together Program
Funded by the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing
Care Together is Australia’s first national program supporting the development of co-operative and mutual enterprise in social care. By supporting community-led models, the program improves the quality, sustainability and diversity of care services for older Australians, people living with disability, veterans and First Nations peoples, particularly in remote, rural, regional and other high-need areas.

“I believe co-operative and mutual enterprises in human services can increase diversity and choice at a time when there is a weakening of community trust in the quality and safety of services provided to vulnerable people. This is especially so in disability, aged care and in services for protecting children and young people.”
– Robert Fitzgerald AM, NSW Ageing and Disability Commissioner
