In 2005, four mates vowed to change the considerable gap in care provision for young people with high care needs, after 33-year-old Shevaune Conry, who had multiple sclerosis, ended up living in aged care. It was the only place that could meet her 24/7 care needs. With the goal of creating brighter futures for young people with high care needs, Youngcare was born. 

Did you know? Youngcare receives no recurring government grant funding. We rely solely on generous supporters like you to help young people with disability.
