Our story

Started in August 2008, Be There Care set out to fill in the gap that most agencies left out when providing care services: quality care, reliability, continuity of staff and an individualised service aimed to encourage clients to maintain their independence. Our Agency is based on the belief that our clients needs are of the utmost importance and our entire team is committed to meeting those needs. As a result a high percentage of our business is from repeat customers and referrals.

Our staff are understanding and empathetic and will not be sent to you unless we are confident they possess the knowledge and experience that is required for that shift. We place great importance on training staff to be competent in all tasks necessary for their role in the community, and if you feel that a certain staff member could benefit from extra education/training, we welcome your feedback.

Be There Care is run by Eileen and Sam Newton and employs both male and female carers with a varying range of experience. Training is provided for staff and is mandatory for all staff to keep an up to date Senior First Aid Certificate at all times while employed with us.

Our values

Participation and Inclusion Statement

Participation and Inclusion ensures that individuals can be actively involved in their communities. Participation and Inclusion promote and enhance community involvement, with the aim of strengthening communities so that individuals are active and engaged in the social, economic and cultural life of their social environments. Be There Care believes in the importance of participation and inclusion and our practice and service delivery model is guided by these principles.

Be There Care recognises that all people with a disability have the same rights to meaningful inclusion in a community as all people do. This includes the areas of work, leisure, learning and relationships. At Be There Care we support and strive to maximise opportunities to assist people with a disability and their families to participate inclusively and contribute in their community according to their individual and cultural needs.

Guiding Principles

Each individual is unique and has their own interests and skills.
People with a disability have a right to meaningful inclusion in a community as all people do including the areas of work, leisure, learning and relationships.
People with a disability have the right to be decision makers on how and with whom they will connect with in their chosen community and Be There Care will be respectful of their choices and plans.
The wider community and people with a disability will benefit when people with a disability contribute and actively included.
Carers have a right to participate in their chosen communities in a way that meets their own interests and needs beyond their caring role.

Be There Care is passionate about building an inclusive society where clients and their families can live the life they choose. In order to safeguard participation and integration, Be There Care ensures that where possible, clients have access to the same places as the rest of the community, receive their services in community settings alongside other members of the community and have the opportunity to socialise and build relationships.
