About Newdawn

Care built on lived experience.

Newdawn began with a foster carer who saw where the system failed people, and decided to fix it. Today our team supports Australians across three states, four services, and every step in between.

Our story

From lived experience, not a business plan.

Newdawn was founded in 2019 by a carer, not an investor. Years volunteering as a foster carer for young people with disability, then working in the forensic sector and complex mental health, showed our founder exactly where the system lets people down. Newdawn exists to close those gaps.

Today we support Australians across Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia through four pillars: disability support, clinical services, complex mental health and accommodation. All of it person-first, and all of it delivered by people who show up.

Vision & mission

Where we're going, and why.

Our vision

Creative, innovative support for people living with disability and mental health challenges. Support that helps every person reach their goals and live their best life possible.

Our mission

To improve the lives of people living with disability by opening real opportunities for choice, control and inclusion, at home and in the community.

What we stand for

Four words that shape every decision we make.

01

Care

Compassion leads. Every plan, every visit, every decision starts with the person in front of us.

02

Respect

Your choices, your dignity, your call. You lead. We listen, then we act.

03

Courage

We take on the complex cases others avoid. Forensic mental health. High-intensity support. The hard work.

04

Independence

Good support works itself out of a job. Every step aims to grow your independence, not replace it.
