Supporting with Choice, Flexibility and Autonomy
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.
CCA Offers A Vast Range Of Support Options
CCA is an approved service provider for NDIS, DSOA and ICARE along with other services:
NDIS
Accommodation and tenancy assistance
Participation in community, social and civic activities
Assistance with daily personal activities

DSOA
CCA is a registered Disability Support for Older Australians Program (DSOA) service provider. The DSOA Program provides support to older people with disability who were not eligible for the NDIS at the time of implementation.
DSOA was previously known as Continuity of Support (CoS) Program. CCA can assist you with the services and supports you require. Just give us a call to discuss your needs.
ICARE (Formerly LTCS)
Australian Unity
Insurers and other people who wish to self-fund their own services
Our Support Services
We provide a range of in-home, accommodation and community support services including:
In-home & community support tailored to your needs and wishes
Accommodation support- from occasional drop in support to high needs & complex care
Supports where you want them and when you want them – these can be regular or intermittent service delivery options
Supports can be as little as two hours a day through to 24 hour care
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.
