Finding Yellow - NDIS Registered Provider

We provide Support Coordination, Accomodation and Community Support for people with disabilities. The group gained swift support from the Hunter community.

In the 1970s, a group of local parents came together with one goal: to improve care and support services for people with disability in the Hunter region. As parents of children with disability, they recognised that existing services were insufficient and needed to change. They were determined to provide their children and future generations with the quality support they deserved as valuable member

s of society. Tireless community fundraising efforts led to the opening of Cessnock Hostel in 1982, finally providing much-needed support to local residents with disability. In 2013, our organisation was renamed “Finding Yellow”. The name represents our unwavering commitment to the community and our determination to discover better resources, stronger community networks, and improved facilities for our clients. It is also a reflection of our clients’ individual journeys towards improved confidence, independence, goal success, and fulfilment. Starting with a handful of determined parents, Finding Yellow now offers an extensive range of disability support services to the local Hunter region.

🚨 Reminder: National AusAlert Test (Australia's new emergency alert system): Monday 27 July at 2:00pm (AEST)

🤳Compatible mobile phones, tablets and smartwatches may receive a Critical Alert with a loud siren-like sound, vibration and on-screen message, even if devices are set to silent or do not disturb.

For some people, particularly those who are sensitive to loud or unexpected noises, the alert may be unsettling, and it may last for up to one hour. Families, carers and support networks may wish to discuss the test beforehand and consider any supports that may help reduce anxiety or distress.🔊

https://ap1.hubs.ly/H017sdD0 features an animation with a picture-in-picture Auslan interpreter explaining what AusAlert is and what to expect during the national test on Monday 27 July 2026.

Please see the website https://ap1.hubs.ly/H017sgr0 for important safety information, including advice for people who use hidden devices for personal safety reasons.

📱 Stay informed. Stay prepared. Stay safe.

Steve felt like doing something a bit different from his usual routine, so we decided to catch the ferry over to Newcastle!

He enjoyed checking out the old train station and the sailing ship, but the highlight of his day was watching the coal tanker come into the harbour.

A great change of pace, we’re already looking forward to the next day out!
