For Care is an NDIS-registered disability support provider, founded by Alex Shaw – a leader in the disability support field.
As a young architect, Alex was bubbling with ideas and inspiration to design a better future for others.
But she found herself back at the drawing board when a close family member needed additional support. She saw first-hand the difficulty of finding service providers who combined the level of care, expertise and respect she and her husband deserved.
Fuelled by a newfound passion to revolutionise the way disability support services were provided, Alex set to work developing solutions that would deliver the standard of care she knew her own loved one needed and deserved.
The uncompromised standard of care that anyone would want, for their own beloved family members.
With her own lived experience shaping her vision, together with an unwavering resolve, Alex sought to create a community of compassionate caregivers who would exceed expectations in nurturing the needs and goals of customers.
The demand for her unique offering was strong, and a wide and ever-growing suite of services now replace barriers with possibilities.
