The BEST Community Services in Pleystowe QLD

MADEC is a proudly local, not for profit community organisation, that has been working the Greater Mackay community since 1973. We are a registered NDIS Service Provider. Originally opening our doors as the Mackay & District Education Centre, MADEC now supports a diverse range of people with an extensive range of services. We view the community as a whole, inclusive of individuals and groups of all ages and abilities, and supports for all sectors including education, disability, youth, training, multicultural, government and business. MADEC Community Services are focused on developing our Community by developing an individual's skills for life and assisting them in actively participating in our community. This may include individual or group training in specific life skills, work readiness programs, assistance and support in the workplace, accommodation and tenancy supports, training for independence in travel and transport, and building capacity and independence in personal and household management and finances. Other ways we assist is by providing our customers with a specialised transport fleet, and assistance with travel and transport arrangements. MADEC is committed to continuing to develop people and our community through innovative programs.

The Neighbourhood Hub is a community based not for profit organisation that has been established since 1989. As a locally based innovative neighbourhood hub, we are connected and accessible for children, youth, families and culturally diverse members of our community. We provide information and referral to all who need our support. Our responsive programs and events build capability through a strengths-based community development approach. Our goal is to build resilience and capacity in our community enabling them to support and empower each other.
