Yindyamarra Care
Support with Purpose.
A family-led disability support service based in Bathurst, providing personalised support built on respect, kindness, connection and individuality
Our Mission our Values
What we believe
At Yindyamarra Care, our mission is simple: to support people living with disability to live a life that is meaningful, purposeful and truly their own.
We believe every person deserves to feel valued, respected and heard. Everyone should have the opportunity to make their own choices, pursue their goals, build meaningful relationships and experience the things that bring purpose, happiness and connection to their lives.
We don’t believe in telling someone what their life should look like.
We believe in listening, understanding and walking alongside each person to support the life they want to live.
Our support is personal. We take the time to get to know the person behind the support needs, understand what matters to them and build support around their individual strengths, interests, goals and aspirations.
Whether it’s building independence, learning new skills, getting involved in the community, developing relationships, discovering a new interest, attending sport, working towards employment or simply enjoying the things that make someone happy, we want to create opportunities for people to experience all that life has to offer.
The Yindyamarra Way
Yindyamarra is a Wiradjuri word that reflects the values of respect, kindness, gentleness, politeness and doing things slowly.
These values are more than the meaning behind our name.
They are the foundation of who we are and the way we strive to support people every day.
Respect
We believe everyone deserves to be heard, valued and treated with dignity.
We respect each person’s individuality, choices, culture, goals and right to live their life in the way that is meaningful to them.
Kindness
We believe genuine care can be found in the little things.
We approach people with compassion, patience and understanding, creating relationships built on trust and genuine connection.
Gentleness
We believe support should feel safe and comfortable.
We recognise that everyone has different needs, experiences, communication styles and ways of doing things. We take the time to understand each person and support them in a way that feels right for them.
Politeness
We listen before we assume.
We communicate openly and respectfully and make sure the voices of the people we support remain at the centre of the decisions that affect their lives.
Doing Slowly
We believe meaningful progress doesn’t need to be rushed.
We take the time to build trust, develop confidence and work towards goals at each person’s own pace.
Sometimes progress is a huge achievement.
Sometimes it’s something small.
We believe both are worth celebrating.
Our People
We believe great support starts with people who genuinely care.
As a family-led business, relationships are incredibly important to us. We want to build a team that shares the values of Yindyamarra, supports one another and is committed to providing thoughtful, respectful and individualised support.
We believe our team should continue to learn, grow and challenge themselves to provide the best possible experience for the people we support.
When people feel supported, respected and connected, they can feel empowered to achieve more.
Our Commitment
Our values aren’t simply words on a website.
They are values we strive to carry with us in everything we do.
We want the people we support to feel:
Safe.
Respected.
Heard.
Included.
Valued.
Supported.
Empowered.
We want to be the people who celebrate the achievements, encourage the possibilities, stand beside people through the challenges and take the time to appreciate the journey.
Because we don’t believe support should be about simply getting through the day.
It’s about creating opportunities to live a life that is meaningful to you.
Our purpose is simple.
To listen.
To support.
To encourage.
To empower.
And to walk alongside people, at their pace.
That is the Yindyamarra way
🌿 A little about where we come from
Yindyamarra Care is proudly based in Bathurst, on Wiradjuri Country in the Central West of New South Wales.
The Wiradjuri people are the people of the three rivers — Wambool (Macquarie), Kalari (Lachlan) and Murrumbidjeri (Murrumbidgee) — with Wiradjuri Country extending across a large area of central and western NSW.
Bathurst is home to the most easterly grouping of the Wiradjuri nation.
The name Yindyamarra comes from the Wiradjuri language and is deeply connected to the values that guide our business.
The Wiradjuri phrase Yindyamarra Winhanganha is often described as “the wisdom of respectfully knowing how to live well in a world worth living in.”
For us, this meaning sits beautifully alongside what we hope to create through Yindyamarra Care — a service where people are respected, supported and encouraged to live a life that is meaningful to them.
Our connection to Wiradjuri Country is not simply where our business is located. It is part of the story behind who we are and the values we carry into the work we do.
