Support that gets you out, keeps your home running, and makes life feel like yours again. Day tours, support workers, domestic cleaning, community access and hands-on baking classes — all from one team.
Enrolling now
Both start Saturday 21 November and both take five participants — one baking at Palm Beach, one healthy cooking at Helensvale. Claimed through your plan, with everything provided.
Ten weeks, ten skills, one certificate. From cookies and bread to chocolate making, participants build real kitchen ability week by week — finishing with a competition and a graduation ceremony.
Ten weeks, thirty-two meals. Participants cook twelve breakfasts, eight lunches and twelve dinners from scratch, starting with food that needs no cooking at all and finishing with a full dinner they can make at home on their own. Our newest course, starting 21 November.
About Care & Culinary
We started on the Gold Coast in 2023 with a simple idea: the kitchen is one of the best classrooms there is. Measuring, following steps, working alongside someone, cleaning up, and eating something you made yourself — these are life skills, and they are learned by doing.
Every session links to something practical — independence in the kitchen, following instructions, working in a group, food safety.
We adjust pace, noise, group size and support level so nobody is left watching from the side. Support workers and carers are always welcome.
Numbers stay low on purpose. Participants see the same facilitators each week, which is what makes progress — and comfort — possible.

Joining the Care & Culinary NDIS Baking Course has been one of the best decisions we have made for our son. From the very first class he came home so proud of what he had made — and that confidence has only grown week after week. Sarosh and the team are warm, professional and genuinely care about every participant. We cannot recommend this program highly enough.
As a support coordinator I am always looking for high quality community participation programs for my clients — and Care & Culinary is exactly that. The program is structured, professionally run and the participants absolutely love it. The invoicing and service agreement process was smooth and easy from start to finish. I have already referred multiple participants and will continue to do so without hesitation.
I was nervous before the first class but the moment I walked in I felt so welcome. The facilitator was patient, encouraging and made sure everyone felt included. By Week 3 I was baking things I never thought I could make — and the graduation ceremony in Week 10 was something I will never forget. Thank you Care & Culinary for giving me this opportunity. I am already looking forward to the next course!
A really wonderful experience for my Granddaughters at Care and Culinary baking course in the holidays. The chefs were wonderful so kind and caring. Everyday was different and they just wanted to go back the next day for another delicious baking experience! Thank you
