Finding possible, every day
Our people
At Cara, we’re all about people – our extraordinary customers, our values-driven staff and our dedicated Board of Directors.
All of our people are truly passionate about what they do – working alongside children and adults with disability to live the way they choose and achieve their goals.
With the introduction of the NDIS, we more than doubled our staff numbers between 2012 and 2019. In July 2019, we celebrated employing our 1000th staff member.
Here you can meet some of the people behind Cara, and find out what motivates them in their work, every day.
We are always looking to grow our team. If you’re interested in joining our team of Possible People, please visit our Careers page or call us on 08 8347 4588.
