Welcome to Oyster Care Foundation, your partner in creating lasting community impact through inclusive, culturally informed, and person-centred support. As a national NDIS provider and registered charity, we’re committed to transforming lives and building stronger, empowered communities.
Oyster Care Foundation commits itself to driving community impact through effective partnerships and culturally sensitive programs. Since we understand the unique needs of individuals in our diverse communities, this foundation remains central to our mission. Rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all approach, the foundation focuses on regional expansion to deliver tailored disability services. As a result, this strategy helps bridge the gap for both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities. Moreover, our work aligns with national frameworks such as “Closing the Gap” and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
To ensure long-term success, we continuously measure our impact against these frameworks. As a result, we can adapt and enhance our strategies effectively. In doing so, we actively collaborate with local organisations, making sure support reaches those who need it most. Consequently, such strategic focus strengthens inclusivity and empowers lives across the regions.
The following statistics paint a concerning picture of the challenges facing young Australians today. These figures highlight the urgent need for increased support and resources to address the complex issues impacting their lives.

Our roots are something we are proud of and celebrate. For example, we actively use local languages to name our services and websites, and we welcome their revival. By doing so, we honor and promote cultural heritage within our work.
We are establishing a strong foundation in regional NSW by delivering disability services through partnerships, with a focus on Far West Orana NSW.
We prioritise regional inclusion and cultural appropriateness, ensuring that both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal individuals have access to relevant and effective disability support.

The Oyster Care Foundation aligns with “Closing the Gap” to improve lives of Aboriginal people in NSW by partnering with Oyster Tribe to address social and economic issues across various areas like health, education, and justice. They focus on 17 goals including economic prosperity specific to NSW.
Proudly celebrating our roots, we incorporate local languages in service names and digital platforms. This effort not only revives culture but also weaves heritage into daily work.
Because culture and language shape identity, we tailor support to meet each person’s unique background. This approach ensures everyone feels seen, valued, and heard.
Recognising that family is central to well-being, our care programs also revolve around strong family values. Moreover, we ensure these values are reflected in all levels of support.
We continuously innovate by incorporating feedback to create environments that are inclusive, safe, and empowering.
Improving cross-cultural communication remains a priority, enabling us to create welcoming spaces. Consequently, participants and families enjoy a positive experience at every touchpoint.
Empowering participants to speak and be heard is vital. As we grow together, their voices shape programs and deepen community impact.
Living with a disability, Evelyn finds comfort in her 11 cats and the support of her worker. With kindness, laughter, and community, she embraces independence, joy, and inspires others with her resilience.
With support from Oyster Care, Brian enjoys shopping trips and park visits with his support worker. Through their bond, he’s found happiness, independence, and a renewed sense of hope and confidence.
With NDIS support, Ben found confidence through skill-building, community access, and caring support workers. He’s now more independent, mastering new abilities like texting, embracing personal responsibility, and enjoying a more connected, fulfilling life.
Through strong partnerships with organisations and community groups, impactful programs, workshops, and advocacy initiatives are delivered, especially in regional areas where support is most needed.
We believe in more than just providing disability services. We are passionate about empowering individuals to achieve their goals and live life to the fullest. Our dedicated team goes beyond simply meeting your needs.
