OUR HISTORY
In 1987, a passionate group of Greek Australian parents embarked on a transformative mission, united by their unwavering belief that every child, regardless of disability, should have equitable access to community programs and services. Their dedication led to the founding of AGAPI Care Inc. (AGAPI Care), a pioneering not-for-profit organisation committed to breaking down barriers and fostering inclusion.
These resilient families faced significant linguistic and cultural obstacles that often restricted their children’s access to essential services. Undeterred, they came together to create a beacon of hope, guided by the progressive principles outlined in the 1978 Galbally Report. Their advocacy championed the fundamental right of all individuals to thrive, preserve their cultural identity, and receive tailored support.
Since 2016, AGAPI Care has been providing a comprehensive range of disability support services across Victoria, including Supported Independent Living, Specialist Disability Accommodation, In-Home Support, Support Coordination, Individualised Living Options, Specialist Support Coordination, Mental Health and Wellbeing, Short-Term Accommodation and Assistance, Social & Community Participation, Plan Management, Independent Skill Development, Group-Based Activities, and Allied Health services.
As of 2024, in New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, the Northern Territory, and Western Australia, AGAPI Care offers In-Home Support, Individualised Living Options, Social & Community Participation, Individual Skill Development, Plan Management, Support Coordination, and Specialist Support Coordination, ensuring individuals receive tailored support to enhance their independence and quality of life.
In 2025, we expanded our services to include My Aged Care, reinforcing our commitment to supporting the elderly in maintaining independence, preserving dignity, and enhancing quality of life. This comprehensive initiative ensures that the elderly receive tailored supports that addresses their diverse needs, fostering comfort, social engagement, and well-being.
AGAPI Care upholds its long-standing commitment to empowering vulnerable people, providing comprehensive support that fosters inclusion, independence, and personal choice. A society where every individual is valued, regardless of race, beliefs, background, religion, or gender.
