🌟 Exciting Announcement from CHAD Care Services!

CHAD Care Services is proud to announce a new collaboration with Family Based Care Tasmania, a trusted not-for-profit organisation registered for Aged Home Care Packages and Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) services across Tasmania.

🤝 What This Means

Through this partnership, CHAD Care Services will expand into Aged In-Home Support and CHSP services — ensuring older Tasmanians can continue living safely, comfortably, and independently at home.

💙 Important to Note:

Our NDIS services remain completely separate and continue as usual.

This collaboration is solely focused on aged care support and CHSP, delivered with the expertise and guidance of Family Based Care Tasmania.

Together, we’re combining local experience, compassion, and quality care to better serve our community’s growing aged care needs.

Blind and Low Vision (BLV) Multi-sports Come & Try Days

IIT and CHAD Care Services are excited to announce their new partnership, and CCS’s sponsorship of three Blind and Low Vision (BLV) Multi-sports Come & Try Days across the summer months.

IIT CEO, Phillip ‘Sunny’ Drury, reflected on the sponsorship...

“CCS’s generous support will expand the reach of our statewide program and allow more sports to be offered at each event. We simply can’t stage these open public sessions without supportive funds to cover costs, and now, we can confidently grow our sports portfolio by purchasing the customised BLV sports equipment we need.”

Sports showcased at the BLV Come & Try Days include Cricket, Golf, Netball, AFL, and Soccer, with plans to add more in the future. The sessions are designed specifically for people with vision impairment, using adaptive equipment such as audio balls that emit a bell sound to help players locate their position.

Founder and Director of CCS, Chathura Dissanayake, said the partnership reflects shared values and purpose...

“Our strategic partnership with IIT is an alignment of shared values and purpose, focused on making a positive community impact. We’re excited to help enable more BLV participants to enjoy the fun of playing sport in a safe, supportive environment, whatever their ability, age, or gender.”

The Come & Try Day dates are:
Sat, Nov 22 – 11am - 12.30pm, Cornelian Bay Oval, Hobart
Sat, Jan 31 – Launceston, 1pm - 2.30pm (venue TBC)

Our CHAD Care Services team – Chad, Meaghan and Peter – had the chance to meet Ron Defelice, Support Coordinator at Blueline.

Ron gave us a tour of Blueline Laundry, and it was amazing to see how involved the NDIS participants are in the day-to-day operations.

The workplace was organised, welcoming, and full of smiles. You could really feel the pride and happiness from everyone working there.

A big shoutout to Blueline Laundry everything you do to support the community and make it truly inclusive – we loved seeing it in action.
