At Arete Care, we're more than a service — we're your partner in care. 💙

With compassion at our core and excellence in every step, we proudly offer:

🏡 Supported Independent Living (SIL)
Creating homes where individuals feel safe, supported, and truly at home.

🛏️ STA, MTA & Respite Accommodation
Flexible, short-to-medium term support that meets your needs — whether it’s a break, a bridge, or a fresh start.

🚗 TAC Provider
Quality support for transport accident clients, focused on recovery, independence, and dignity.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care.
We believe in personalised pathways — because every story deserves tailored support.

It’s not just what happens during the expo that matters - it’s the setting up, the packing down and everything in between.

On Wednesday the Arete Care team took part in the Thrive Together NDIS Expo, spending the day connecting with participants and providers from across the region. From those first early conversations as we set up our table to the last chats as we packed away, every interaction reminded us why we do what we do.

Being part of events like this gives us the chance to listen, learn, and share - whether it’s introducing Arete Care to new faces or deepening relationships with those we already work alongside.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to speak with us, and to the organisers Peak Care Services for such a well-run event. We’re looking forward to turning these conversations into lasting partnerships.

It was a great morning connecting with local providers and community organisations - including catching up with our friends at InPlace Living - all working towards better outcomes for people with disability.

You know what makes a SIL home feel like home?
It’s not just the support ratios or fancy furniture.

It’s:
👣 A routine that feels familiar
🥘 A meal that smells like your childhood
🔕 A space that’s quiet when you need calm
🧩 A staff member who knows your favourite comfort item

At Arete Care, we’re big believers in the small things. Because these are the things that say: “You belong here.”

What small detail have you seen make someone feel truly at home?

Arete Care at “NDIS Unpacked – Insights from the Frontline Experts”

We had the pleasure of attending this insightful event hosted by Wise HealthCare, where four inspiring experts: Junelle Rhodes, Belinda Tooney, Nicole Makin Doherty, and others, shared their lived experience and professional knowledge across SIL, SDA, respite, and broader NDIS service delivery.

The event offered a deep dive into how the system has evolved, explored frontline challenges, and highlighted opportunities for better outcomes. It was a truly enriching experience full of practical takeaways and reflective discussions.

Thank you to Wise Healthcare for creating this valuable space for learning, connection, and collaboration.

Nothing like a fire alarm to test your event planning skills.

We were mid-discussion, surrounded by passionate people, deep in conversation about one of the most important topics in our sector - supporting participants experiencing domestic and family violence.

Within minutes, we were outside. Calm, safe, and guided out with care - thanks to Jamie and Fin, who quietly made sure everyone was accounted for and okay. Once the all-clear came through, we returned, settled back in and carried on. Because the conversation was too important to pause for long.

Hosted by Plan Partners and National Positive Behaviour Support, this special event brought together support coordinators and service providers dedicated to improving outcomes for those impacted by violence.

We heard from Lisa Ashton, a Family Violence Disability Practice Lead from wayss: Homelessness & Family Violence and gained practical insight into The Orange Door - how it works, what supports are available and what really happens when a referral is made.

It wasn’t just a networking event.
It was an opportunity to listen, learn, connect and commit to doing better.

Thank you to everyone who made it happen - fire alarms and all.

What happens when passionate people come together with a shared mission?

Yesterday, at the nib Thrive NDIS Providers Lunch & Learn event in Sunbury we were reminded of the answer: collaboration, inspiration and a renewed sense of purpose.

Arete Care joined a room full of providers, professionals and changemakers – each bringing unique perspectives, stories and energy. From conversations about quality supports to brainstorming ways we can do better for participants, the message was clear: we’re stronger together.

A heartfelt thank you to nib Thrive and the Nurse Next Door team for curating such a meaningful event. It wasn’t just about networking – it was about building a community that puts people first.

As we left the event, we felt proud of the work being done across the sector – and even more committed to playing our part with empathy, integrity and care.

Let’s keep the momentum going. 💜

These conversations help us share knowledge, build strong partnerships, and ultimately improve the support we provide to participants.

On Tuesday Arete Care had the pleasure of attending the Ready-Set-Connect event in Chadstone, hosted by One Community and proudly supported by the Australian Disability Service Awards.
