Our Story

Founded in 2013, Care & Culinary began with a simple yet powerful vision: to create a world where every individual, regardless of ability, can live with dignity, independence, and joy.

Our founder, Sarah Johnson, recognized a gap in the disability support sector - while there were many services available, few addressed the holistic needs of individuals, particularly around nutrition and culinary support. As a former dietitian with a sibling who had mobility challenges, Sarah understood firsthand how proper nutrition and personalized care could dramatically improve quality of life.

What started as a small local service in Gold Coast has grown into a comprehensive disability support provider serving clients across Australia. We've maintained our commitment to personalized care while expanding our services to include wheelchair accessible transport, community connections, emotional support, and more.
