We Care NSW

We Care NSW is an Aboriginal owned and operated for purpose organisation that is dedicated to providing high quality, culturally appropriate services for our clients in the disability, mental health and children and family sectors. We support individuals to achieve their own goals and increase their capacity to actively engage in their community, education, employment and cultural activities.

With offices located in Maitland, Newcastle and Tweed Heads we offer designated services in these locations, although we provide support, care and assistance to Aboriginal people across the state.
