Care Together Program
Funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care
The Care Together Program is Australia’s first co-operative and mutual enterprise support program in social care. The Program will help improve the quality and diversity of services provided to older Australians, people living with disability, veterans and First Nations peoples in remote, rural and regional areas and other areas of high need.
What is Care Together?
Delivering care in Australia
While individual needs and preferences may differ, a care system befitting our nation must be founded upon compassion, dignity and respect. Fundamentally, these principles encompass the way we envision supporting ourselves and our loved ones throughout our lives.

Our Projects
“The simple act of caring is heroic.”
– Edward Albert
“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
