Amicus provides services to children from school-age and upwards.
We help you to work towards achieving your goals and finding valued roles, and enjoying community inclusion so that you can live your best life!
We work with participants funded by the NDIS. If you are not sure about your funding, contact our team for help.
Working with children and youth
Amicus works ‘one person at a time’.
This means we plan your services with you to make sure they are suitable to what you need, your goals, and your lifestyle. You don’t have to accommodate the needs of others.
We understand the role of parents and carers can be challenging. We are here to help, providing much-needed respite.
We provide supports in the home and out in the community. Amicus believes that everyone should be able to participate in their community and work hard to create these opportunities, and we provide the support your child or young person needs, to actively participate in their communities of choice.
We value each person and welcome everyone for who they are and what they bring.
