Our Focus Is You

For almost 40 years, the highly experienced staff of CCA have been providing a range of tailored services to people who live with disabilities. CCA's goal is for each person to choose what they need and want, in order for them to live independently and in their own homes.

CCA staff place you at the forefront of your service and we specialise in providing access to technologies that can make your life easier. 

 
 
 
 

Where

You Need Us

CCA is based in Parramatta and operates its support services across the Greater Sydney area, extending to the Nepean, Hawkesbury, Central Coast and Wollongong.

We provide support options to people regardless of age or disability type (including complex disabilities).

Talk to us about your needs, including NDIS services and find out more about how CCA can work with you.

When

We Are Needed

CCA’s support options are flexible. They range from as little as two hours per day to 24 hour-coverage, depending on individual needs and approved funding packages. 

These are offered across the whole year, when and where needed, including public holidays and after-hours on-call.

CCA’s flexibility allows you to take control of your life with us by your side.

 
 

Our Service Delivery Approach

CCA supports people to live in their community. 

We provide the supports to ensure that people living with all types and levels of disability and needs can be as independent as they wish to be. 

We support each person to plan their services through a ‘Build Your Own Service’ approach so that your services are customised to your individual needs and wants and not on a 'one size fits all' basis.

Our Service Delivery includes:

  • An after-hours telephone in case of emergencies

  • Working with you to build a flexible and on demand service system around you

  • Fees and administration charges that are designed to give you the best value for your money

  • If you want to self-manage your services we can assist in the back-room processes to enable this to happen

  • If you want to manage your staff we can help you to: find the right people, cover your rosters or complete your paperwork

  • If you are applying for an NDIA package we can assist you to identify what you will need to ask for and help you cost out your needs

If you do not have funding but still require assistance, we will work with you to prepare a self-funded plan option.

We can also support people with early onset dementia – particularly people living with disabilities – or people who are older.

This gives carers a break, and also assists people in the community who need additional housekeeping, shopping or in-home services.
