Hunter Care Group was the brainchild of our CEO Jarrod Burns. Having worked in the disability support industry for years, he was frustrated by seeing both clients and staff treated poorly – and he set out to change things for the better for everyone. Today, we’re a young, energetic, fresh-thinking team of mental health and disability support specialists on a mission to shake up the industry. We want participants to live life as comfortably and proactively as possible and staff to be happy in their work. We’re currently one of the largest NDIS providers in the Hunter region – with the potential to grow nationwide. However, expansion will only happen when we’re 100% confident we can still deliver the same high level of reliable, consistent and individualised support.
