RANCARE Connect

RANCARE Connect Pty Ltd supports young people with disabilities to build independence, confidence and practical life skills. Based in Hastings, Victoria, the organisation provides person-centred learning experiences shaped around each participant’s needs, preferences and learning style. Its programs encourage participants to grow at their own pace through hands-on practice, social connection and community participation.

Core services include the Kickstart Program, which helps participants develop confidence and everyday skills while preparing for future employment, and the Jumpstart Program, which offers additional support with daily independence, personal hygiene and community involvement. RANCARE Connect also provides camps, tailored respite, weekly group activities and personalised one-to-one support. Activities include social groups, men’s fitness sessions, travel training, creative workshops, social outings and assistance with daily tasks.

Across its services, the team aims to create safe, inclusive and engaging environments where participants can learn, meet others, develop friendships and try new experiences. RANCARE Connect works alongside participants and carers to support meaningful goals and help each person enjoy a fuller, more rewarding life.
