Youngcare is a national not-for-profit, revolutionising the way young people with high care disability live – with freedom, dignity and choice. They are the force that empowers and drives change for young people with high physical support needs, creating a more inclusive Australia.

An Early Bird Exhibitor for the Brisbane Disability Connection Expo 2023, Youngcare is fighting for freedom, dignity and choice for young people with high physical support needs to choose where they live, who they live with, and how they live their lives.

Too many young Australians with high physical support needs 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.

For almost two decades, Youngcare has been redefining integrated living, creating a future where every young person with high care disability feels at home — and free to live, equally — in their community.

In 2005, four mates vowed to change the considerable gap in care provision for young people with high care needs when at the age of just 33 Shevaune Conry, who had multiple sclerosis ended up living in aged care. It was the only place that could provide for her 24/7 care needs. With the purpose to create brighter futures for young people with high care needs, Youngcare was born.

Youndcare develop aspirational Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), advocate for much-needed policy change, deliver vital grants programs, and provide education, advice and pathways through their free support service.
