"Ohana" is a Hawaiian word meaning family.

To us, family isn't always about blood—it's about showing up for one another, creating genuine connections and ensuring nobody feels like they're navigating life alone.

Because everyone deserves a village.

Absolutely not! While supporting children and young people is where Ohana began, we proudly support adults too. Whether you're looking for assistance to access the community, build independence, work towards your NDIS goals, or simply have someone alongside you, we're here to help.

We currently provide services across Northern Tasmania, the Central West and Riverina regions of New South Wales.

We're continually expanding across Australia, particularly into rural and remote communities. If your area isn't listed, we'd still love to hear from you. Join our contact list and we'll let you know as soon as we begin servicing your region.

After all... we're not afraid of a drive, dirt roads or muddy paws. 🐾

Yes, in many circumstances.

Every family's needs are different, so we'd love to have a conversation about what respite would look like for you. Whether it's a few hours to recharge, overnight support, or something more tailored, please get in touch with us at admin@ohanacareaustralia.com.au.

Always.

We're constantly on the lookout for what we affectionately call "unicorns." 🦄

People who genuinely care about others, think quickly on their feet, love building meaningful relationships, aren't afraid to step outside their comfort zone, and are committed to continually learning and growing.

If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.

Absolutely.

Finding the right fit is incredibly important. We take the time to thoughtfully match participants with support workers based on personalities, interests, goals, and support needs. If the match doesn't feel right, we'll happily work with you to find someone who does.
