About cape

cape group is a not-for-profit registered NDIS provider supporting people with disability across Melbourne's eastern and northern suburbs. We were formed in April 2025 through the merger of Nadrasca and Brite, bringing together more than 120 years of combined experience. Nepean Centre joined us in June 2026. Monkami Centre joined in July 2026.

That pace is deliberate. We are building an organisation with the scale, capability and ambition to change what disability services look like: better homes, smarter use of technology, stronger pathways, and supports built around each person rather than around programs. Our measure of success is simple. Everyone we support has their best day, every day.

At cape, we work hard to ensure that everyone we support can have their best day, every day.

This means people feel awesome, welcome, connected, excited, and ready to achieve their goals – whatever that means for them.
