About Youngcare
Too many young Australians with complex physical disabilities are being left behind. These young people deserve the freedom to live where and how they want — and it’s up to all of us to make that happen.
Youngcare is fighting for freedom, dignity and choice for young people with physical disabilities to choose where they live, who they live with, and how they live their lives.
Youngcare achieves this through developing aspirational Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), advocating for much-needed policy change, delivering vital grants programs, and providing education, advice and pathways through our free support service.
