Who we are
At Northside we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live a meaningful, connected, and empowered life.
For more than three decades, we've proudly supported people with disabilities on Sydney's Northern Beaches and surrounding areas — helping individuals grow in confidence, develop new skills, and thrive as valued members of the community.
Northside is a registered NDIS Service Provider, a registered charity, and a social enterprise innovator. We are a day program, we create pathways to real employment, leisure, and recreation while delivering vital services that support living skills at home and in the community.
We’re especially proud of our award-winning social enterprise, Bushlink, which has been going strong for over 15 years. Through Bushlink, we offer supported employment in bush regeneration and deliver inclusive school programs that not only champion environmental care but also foster a deep culture of inclusion, understanding, and belonging.
Our Vision
A future where people with disabilities live fulfilling, active lives as equal members of the community.
We see a world enriched by diversity — where every person has the chance to shine, contribute meaningfully, and be celebrated for who they are.
Our Purpose
We exist to support, care for, and upskill people with mild to moderate intellectual and/or multiple disabilities — adapting to each individual’s needs and interests, enhancing their quality of living, and supporting their contribution to the community.
It’s not just what we do — it’s why we do it. We’re here to walk alongside people on their journey, every step of the way.
Our Mission
To deliver high-quality, personalised support and real employment opportunities that open doors and break barriers.
Whether it’s building life skills, finding the right job, or engaging in community life, we’re here to help people thrive.
We adapt. We listen. And we support every step forward — because we know that real inclusion changes lives.
