cape group is a newly formed brand resulting from the merger of Nadrasca and Brite, two NDIS registered providers with a combined 120 years in operation across the eastern and northern suburbs.
Together, we provide a range of services for people with disability, including home and living supports, social and community participation activities, youth employment assistance, supported employment, and NDIS support coordination.
At cape, we work hard to ensure that everyone we support can have their best day, every day. This means people feel awesome, welcome, connected, excited, and read to achieve their goals – whatever that means for them.
