Give a Care is a NDIS registered disability services provider operating all over Melbourne. Give a Care is unique because it was founded by Jeff Shaw who has been living with an acquired brain injury disability for over 12 years.
Driven by a passion for more respectful and quality care, Jeff’s vision is for Give a Care to provide a range of services that empower people with a disability to make choices to live fulfilling lives.
What makes Give a Care different to other disability service providers?
Firstly and most importantly, we truly Give a Care, and our clients’ needs come first. We spend a lot of time personally matching support workers with clients, so we get the right match based on our client’s requirements.
Secondly, Give a Care is founded by a person who has a disability, who has lived experience of what it’s like to access service providers and understands how difficult and frustrating it can be. Give a Care was created to enable people living with a disability to feel empowered and to live more fulfilling lives.
