As the largest independent NDIS service provider in Cairns, ARC Disability has been providing 'more than just support' since 1976.

Established in 1976 by a group of parents with a vision for their children, we pride ourselves on being person focused, friendly, flexible and fun! Our Vision is that people who have a disability are empowered to reach their full potential, dreams and aspirations, enabling them to enjoy a fulfilling life of their choosing as valued members of the community. We work collaboratively with our service users, their support networks and the community to facilitate a range of options and opportunities which promote active participation for all.

We had an awesome time yesterday afternoon at Conrad's book launch! 📚🎉

In his book, Conrad's Awesome Adventures, Conrad shares a collection of vibrant personal stories that celebrate life.

In Conrad's words: "I am excited about having a book launch to show everybody that can come, my achievement to plan and write about my life. I love people learning about different ways of communicating because it helps people improve their thinking and remembering to appreciate all people."

Congratulations Conrad! 👏
