Mandala provides two core programs. A Community Participation Program known as 'Mandala Social' and 'Mandala Work' an innovative Day Program alternative. Our programs support all diversabilities to socialise and complete work tasks, whilst developing their individual skills.
When you join Mandala Care Group, you can choose to participate in Mandala Social (Community Participation Program), Mandala Work (innovative Day Program alternative) or both. The choice is yours.
Mandala Social (Community Participation Program) is carefully curated to each individual based on their interests, needs, skills they want to develop and what they love to do!
Our Mandala Work program empowers participants (known to us as Team Members) to attend to real work tasks in a supported environment.
Mandala sets a new standard for economic and social inclusion for people with diversability, allowing team members to earn a small shared remuneration for their contribution.
Team members engage in meaningful work tasks, socialise, contribute to their communities and develop their individual skills, regardless of their support needs.
