ABOUT US
"working with you on the canvas of your life"
-
AmeCare (pronounced "am-care") was established in 2018 by our director, Gina Robinson, and our manager Yanie Drysdale.
-
We are an NDIS-Registered organisation that started with a team of 5 staff and 20 participants...and at the start of 2021, we have approximately 105 staff and over 150 participants!
-
AmeCare is a family-established and orientated organisation that aims to support people with complex-care needs, dual-diagnosis, and mental health conditions.​
-
Our target group is people with dual-diagnosis and co-morbidities (specifically psychosocial disabilities), and those requiring complex support and multidisciplinary approaches.
-
Additionally, our target group includes people who have been marginalised for factors that are out of their control and we wish to rehabilitate and provide stability and security.
-
​Our motto is a reflection of life being a blank canvas, that each person paints upon as they collect experiences and memories.
-
We strive to build positive and striking canvases for the people we support to share proudly, owning their experiences and themselves to ultimately reach their goals. ​
Our name comes from the Amethyst crystal, known for its protection and emotional healing qualities. It can also be associated with sending negativity away and encouraging intuition and stability.
