CFN is a not-for-profit community organisation that provides disability support services and empowers people with a disability, and their families and/or carers, to enjoy authentic and meaningful lives.

COMMUNITY AND SOCIAL

CFN Enthuse is our Social and Community Participation Hub. Enthuse started as a center-based group support program that has now flourished into a suite of innovative programs that encourage friendships, learning and skill development and working towards goals. CFN Enthuse participants can be supported in a group environment or 1:1 or a mix of both depending on your needs and requirements. CFN Enthuse aims to assist participants to embrace new opportunities and broaden your experiences.

The Enthuse HUB operates a core program of center-based group support Monday to Friday from 9am to 3pm. Participants can choose to attend full days or part days or enroll in specific programs that are either interest based or working towards defined goals. Outside of this core program we offer evenings and weekend support to attend special events.

SHORT TERM ACCOMMODATION (RESPITE)

Do you want new experiences, or time out to replenish your batteries or are you just in need of some relaxation and fun?   

At CFN we offer short term accommodation at our 3-bedroom guest house.  This opportunity is available for individuals to take an enjoyable break from their everyday home environment.  In most instances, it is not just for people to have a break but those who feel like a holiday.  

There are four types of short-term accommodation services you can access 

The Retreat

A stay at The Retreat, which has been established to feel like a home away from home, available for short-term accommodation support. The Retreat is open 7 days a week and can be flexible around your other activities during your stay.  

Our Retreat is modern, homely and friendly and people look forward to coming to stay with us. 
We offer high quality physical, emotional and practical support and respect people’s individuality and right to privacy.   

School holidays disability respite program (Vacation Care) 

We offer school holiday centre based / community programs for children and teenagers. Enjoy a trip away from home, experience something different and meet new friends.  Excursions are fantastic and the support from our holiday program staff is lively.  

Individual respite 

Our individual respite can occur at your home or in the community.  Whether you need respite support for a couple of hours or a couple of days, we can help. We work with you to find an option that works for you and your family. Our guests come to us not just for the care they need but also for a fabulous holiday experience.  

Community-based respite 

We run several community-based respite programs. There are both individual and group-based options available.   Community-based respite operates in many ways including attending leisure centres and recreational activities.  You can choose which programs you take part in based on your location and interests. Community based respite might look like video nights, sport events, outdoor barbecues and general fun activities e.g. outings to local scenic attractions, social clubs, theatres and restaurants. We make every effort to access activities available to the general public, thereby enabling individuals to participate in typical community events. 

DAILY LIVING

We provided in-home & community daily living services ranging from 24-hour care, to assistance with shopping or attending appointments.   The NDIS may use the following terms to describe these types of support that you can purchase once you have your plan: 

• Assistance with daily life at home, in the community, in education and at work 
• Improved daily living skills 
• Improved living arrangements 
• Supported independent living 

SUPPORT COORDINATION

Commencing within the Moreton Bay Region over 16 years ago, we have earned a strong reputation for being creative, relevant and trusted. 

We understand that learning about the NDIS can be challenging, especially when managing a family, a child with special needs or important life stages.  At CFN we are experienced in support coordination (case management) and can assist you to take control of your NDIS plan and build on your skills and confidence to maximise your NDIS funding.
