OUR VISION

Amicus Group Inc is actively working towards a community where all members are valued and respected for their unique talents and contributions. Amicus provides high quality services to people with a disability and people who are frail and aged that promotes:

Individuality - We respect that everyone is unique and has different needs. We listen to what people want so we can provide the support in tailored and flexible way.

Choice We know that everyone who chooses Amicus to provide support has the right to direct how this happens. You will be given the information, opportunity and support to make decisions and choices about the things that happen in your life and what matters to you.

Growth – We believe in life-long learning and the development of individual and group potential is a focus of the support that we provide.

Connection – We understand the importance of relationships and networks and promote the development of meaningful and lasting friendships and partnerships

Important Information Session for Families 

As part of some of our early work in providing more flexible responses we have been assisting people to think about supports outside of the traditional disability day service hours of 9-3 Monday to Friday in group support. We would now really like to work with people to plan for their needs throughout the year because we understand that our current 46 week service is not ideal for every individual or families circumstances. We would like to be much more flexible in the way we deliver your support at the times that you need it!
While we don’t have access to additional funding we can look at ways to be creative and use your current funding differently! We will be holding an information session on:

Wednesday 30th May at 3:30pm
Amicus Training Room - 1-13 Cecil St. North Bendigo

The session will be of interest to participants, families and planners accessing group or individual disability support with their funding. We invite you to come along and join us for a cuppa and find out more.
