Why Work at Central Coast Care?

We're not your typical disability or aged care provider. We're a neurodivergent-led organisation that thrives on complexity, values authenticity, and believes that different isn't deficient — it's powerful.

Our team brings together lived experience, clinical expertise, and a shared passion for doing what's right, even when it's hard. If you're looking for meaningful work where you can truly make a difference, you might just fit in here.

🧠 Neurodivergent-Led

Over 90% of our team is neurodivergent, bringing lived experience and authentic understanding to our approach. We create workplace environments where neurodivergent strengths are valued and accommodated.

We actually practice what we preach, putting ethics before profit and relationships before transactions. Our values aren't just on the wall - they guide every decision we make in supporting our clients and team.
