At Maudcare, we provide personalized, high-quality care with engaging programs that go beyond traditional disability support. Our unique approach includes:

✅ A strong focus on care, compassion, and empathy, ensuring both peer mentors and participants feel valued, heard, and supported. We foster a family-like environment based on love, understanding, and connection, where participants are never treated as separate or different from their mentors but as equal members of a caring community.

✅ No extra charges for in-house activities, including arts & crafts, photography, cooking, gaming, and farm experiences.

✅ Access to two farm environments – our external farm in Bannockburn and our mini hobby farm at our facility.

✅ Animal interaction opportunities with chickens, llamas, goats, sheep, and horses.

✅ Basic equine therapy at no cost, including horse riding with our resident horse, Milo.

✅ Basic food, coffee, tea, and snacks provided free of charge at our center.

✅ Shadow shifts for staff training are fully funded by Maudcare, ensuring new peer mentors are well-trained without affecting participants’ NDIS plans.

✅ Family communication, monthly updates, and internal staff training related to general client care are provided at no charge.

🚗 Community Access – Supporting participants to engage with their community, build social connections, and participate in activities that enhance their independence and confidence.

🏘️ Supported Independent Living (SIL) – Assisting participants in developing the skills and confidence needed to live independently while receiving the necessary support for a fulfilling and empowered life.

Our compassion, integrity, and commitment to innovation drive us to provide the highest quality of care across all these services, ensuring that every participant experiences meaningful support tailored to their unique goals and aspirations.
