Disability services
People with a disability represent a diverse group.
They include people who were born with a disability and those
who acquire disability during their life through accident, ageing
or illness.
As part of a commitment to capacity building within our
communities, St John of God Health Care operates disability
services in Victoria, New South Wales and New
Zealand.
Intellectual disability
In Melbourne, we operate St John of
God Accord, a major provider of support services - across 38
sites - for people with an intellectual disability.
Residential care
Other Social Outreach and Advocacy Services supporting
people with a disability include two residential support
facilities for people with physical and neurological
disabilities, aged between 16 and 65 years, at Halswell Hospital, Christchurch and St John of God Wellington in New
Zealand.
Our Casa Venegas service in
Sydney provides accommodation and support for people with
chronic mental illness who would otherwise be homeless.
