Our Mission:
Empower.
Rock Community Care aims to empower individuals to discover their purpose and develop personally so that they can live fulfilling lives and encourage those around them.

Our Vision
To provide acceptance, stability and positive relationships so that people are empowered to find the potential within them and then become a positive influence in their environment.

“I like holidays with Jenny and Joy and Rock CC. We go to Mount Alford Lodge. I’ve been 9 times. We have lots of fun and I like to see Wendy. When I arrive, I always say to Wendy, ‘Honey, I’m home.’”
George, Colville Lodge Resident

Our Programs
Our main goal with all our programs is to create memorable experiences so that each participant feels fulfilled and valued.
BUILDING COMMUNITY
Reality is, that with rising interest rates and rising costs for everyday purchases, more and more people are becoming financially stressed and facing various crises. At Rock Community Care, we make an effort to find out how we can help most effectively whenever we can. We also assist people in the community who are going through difficult times and various crises. Recently, we have supported people with moving into better accommodation, with health and food parcel support and help with basic bills (electricity, vehicle registration, etc.)
BREAKING SOCIAL ISOLATION
When there is busyness all around us, it’s good to be able to stop and ask “Are you doing okay?” And then, because most people say “Yes, I’m okay,” (even when they’re not), it’s good to ask again, “How are you really feeling? Let’s have a coffee.” Often vulnerable people, just need to be heard. Being able to talk through grief and respond to injustice, are all necessary when individuals and their families are not feeling safe or okay. We support individuals and their families according to their need and capacity and refer to advocacy services as required.
annual holiday
It’s fun to go on holidays with your ‘family and friends’, enjoy new experiences and learn new things. For the past 9 years, Rock Community Care has organised an Annual Holiday for any of the residents from Colville Lodge and other participants, in similar situations, to Mt Alford Lodge for a 4 day/3 night holiday. We are so well looked after by the staff at Mt Alford Lodge with fabulous accommodation (ensuited twin share rooms) and beautiful home-cooked meals. We organise outings (e.g. Summerland Camel Farm, Queensland Rail Museum at Ipswich, Law Dogs Queensland at The Summit, Amberley RAAF Base, Darling Downs Zoo at Allora…). Other activities include our versions of Lego Masters and Master Chef, games, craft, movies and walks to keep us occupied during our holiday.
With your Generous Support,
Together we can make a difference.
