Our talented team of staff, volunteers and students provide a range of carefully developed, targeted services to the community with respect, skill, and excellence.

Doncare receives funding from Local, State and Federal governments to operate several of our programs and utilises the proceeds of our two opportunity shops and the support of private donations, philanthropic trusts and the community support.
