The Big Care

The Big Care provides personalised support for young people and young adults, helping them build confidence, develop practical skills and move toward greater independence. Its approach centres on relatable mentors who listen, encourage and tailor support to each person’s goals, interests and personality. Services include one-to-one mentorship, sports and fitness activities, social and community outings, and practical help with everyday life skills such as cooking, shopping, budgeting, transport and routines.

The organisation also offers support with study, employment preparation and planning next steps after school. Small-group activities provide opportunities for connection and participation, while support coordination helps young people and families understand plans and connect with suitable services. Nursing support is available when health needs are part of a young person’s overall plan.

The Big Care also lists broader services, including home care, cleaning, gardening, home modifications, plumbing, electrical work, transport and personal training. Based in Epping, Victoria, the organisation invites families and coordinators to discuss individual support needs and suitable programs
