Leading with heart, at Amity Care Services, our mission is to walk alongside people with disability and mental health challenges — delivering high-quality, ethical, and person-centred support that empowers individuals, honours lived experience, and drives meaningful change.
We are committed to a practice of inclusion, integrity, and social justice. Through co-design, trauma-informed care, and culturally responsive practice, we support people to take control of their lives, connect with their communities, and realise their goals.
We strive to remove barriers, amplify voices, and build a more equitable and inclusive society — one where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
A world where people with disability and mental health challenges are not just supported — but empowered, included, and celebrated.
We envision a future where equitable access, real choice and control, and genuine relationships form the foundation of all support — enabling individuals to lead lives of dignity, meaning, and connection.

We listen first. We honour lived experience. We walk alongside people — never ahead or behind — supporting them to define and direct their own lives.
Our work is grounded in ethical, evidence-based practice. We act transparently, consistently, and with clinical insight, especially in complex or high-risk situations.
We work as a team — not just within our organisation, but with participants, families, providers, and communities. We believe connection and shared decision-making drive better outcomes.
We build capacity — not dependency. Whether it’s navigating the NDIS, building confidence, or developing life skills, we support people to take control and thrive on their terms.
We are committed to culturally safe, inclusive practice. We work with humility, respect, and curiosity — honouring the diverse backgrounds, identities, and experiences of the people we support. We acknowledge the ongoing connection of First Nations Peoples to land, culture, and community, and we strive to walk alongside all participants in ways that are respectful and empowering.
We champion inclusion and equity in everything we do. As a community, we believe everyone should have fair and meaningful access to the support they need. We create safe, respectful spaces where every voice is heard and diversity is genuinely valued.
Fostering a culture of reflection, growth, and professional development, we invest in ongoing staff development through regular supervision, in-house training, and access to external learning — keeping our team skilled, reflective, and up to date. We embrace feedback, remain curious, and adapt as the world around us changes.
At Amity, our work is deeply rooted in nature. Many of our services are delivered from beautiful, open properties on the Mornington Peninsula, where wide skies and sensory gardens become part of the healing journey.
We believe the natural environment plays a quiet but powerful role — helping participants feel calm, connected, and safe. Whether it’s a gentle walk through the garden, a shared moment with one of our animals, or simply sitting in the sun after a meaningful conversation, nature holds space for reflection, learning, and growth.
