MDS is a not-for-profit community organisation, operating for over 42 years and provides services, activities and connections to people with a disability, mental illness, the aged, families and carers.

Our services are designed to meet the needs of each individual with a focus on the person achieving their aspirations and support tailored to their needs and unique circumstances.

A Stronger Future, Together

‍
For many years, Macarthur Disability Services (MDS) and Better Care Delivered (BCD) have shared a common purpose: supporting people with disability and the ageing to live the lives they choose. Together, we bring decades of experience, trusted relationships, deep community connections and a commitment to putting people at the centre of everything we do.

Today, we are pleased to share that MDS and BCD will be coming together to create a stronger organisation for the future.

As the disability and ageing sectors continue to evolve, we believe that bringing our strengths together is the best way to continue delivering high-quality, person-centred supports while building greater capability, sustainability and opportunity for the people and communities we serve.

This is not about becoming bigger. It is about becoming stronger.

Together, we will be able to offer:
• More choice for participants
• Greater expertise and specialist capability
• More connected services and support pathways
• Stronger investment in our people
• Greater innovation and community impact
• A sustainable future for the people who rely on us

Most importantly, the things that matter most will remain unchanged. The relationships, values and personal approach that participants, families, clients and communities know and trust, will continue to be at the heart of everything we do.

‍Growing our capability, not changing what matters.
You know us. We know you. Together, we can do more.
‍

What we believe in

In 1982, MDS envisioned a world where people with a disability participated fully in society and were valued and empowered to realise their potential.
‍
43 years on and we are still living and breathing that vision in everything we do.

MDS School Holiday Program offers plenty of variety in their activities and is a fantastic Social gathering for my Nephew - He looks forward to attending, and literally counts down the Months and then the days until he is able to go again. This has helped my Nephew immensely not just with the social aspect of forging new Friendships, but also in trying new things that can take him out of his comfort zone, yet still being within a controlled environment, where he feels safe to try new experiences. The Staff are always so welcoming and kind and genuinely enjoy being with our young people. Extremely happy with this Service.

We are so happy that we found MDS, the School Holiday program has been a saviour for our daughter, building relationships and having fun! We are going into our 3rd semester for the Youth Social Skills program and couldn’t be happier, I like the feeling of inclusion I get when we pick up Maddi with all of the staff and the supporters. Thank you!

We started with MDS about a year ago, when our previous provider told us they no longer offer their service. It was such a smooth transition for us....they provide a variety of interesting outings and excursions for the kids which is wonderful in terms of community participation and my son always looks forward to attend during school holidays. Their staff are great! Friendly and always willing to help. I can not recommend MDS highly enough! Thank you and keep providing this much needed quality service.

My son has been going to MDS since he was in primary school, now he's 21, he goes to their day program. I find them to be very helpful and I can talk.to them about anything if I have any concerns, and vice versa. Both my son and myself are very comfortable with the staff at MDS and their continuing support.
