Social & Community

Caringa understands the importance of friendships, inclusion and doing the things you love.

It feels good when you connect with your community, make friends and do the things you love to do.  It can be lots of fun and is also one of the best ways to improve your general health and wellbeing.

Caringa offers supports to help you get more out of life, meet people who share your interests, increase your community involvement and build the skills you need to become more independent.

Caringa offers services in:

• Social and Community Inclusion
  Get out and about with confidence and support. We can help you:
  • socialise with people who have similar interests

  • attend events you are interested in
  • pursue your hobbies through groups, clubs and associations
  • explore your creativity through music and the arts

• Short-Term Accommodation (STA)
  You deserve the opportunity to grow and experience places you haven’t been before. After all, there are many things you can only learn by getting out of your comfort zone, visiting a new place and pursuing new experiences.
  Caringa can help you tailor a trip and the short-term accommodation to meet your goals and needs. Once you’re on your way, we are available to ensure the supports you need continue so that your travel experience is a fun, safe and exciting one.
