About Us
The Happy Human Hub is often described an ‘inspiring environment filled with good energy’, a place of connection and community – somewhere Happy Humans truly like to hang out.
At The Happy Human Hub, we are passionate about redefining disability care by breaking away from traditional models. We give participants the freedom to incorporate fun games and educational activities into their day programs, making learning enjoyable and effortless. By making education fun, we are seeing participants continue to learn and grow and meet their goals, without even realising it – all while having a great time!
We offer a variety of services, including Individual and Group Day Supports, Personal Care Programs, and exciting after-school and school holiday support programs. Our team also organises outings, special events, and hosts our popular Hub Crawl for 18+ every Thursday night.
The Happy Human Hub proudly supports participants ranging from 7 years old to young adults, with diverse abilities, neurodiversity, and special needs. We provide tailored care for all, including non-verbal participants and those with complex behaviours, offering support in 1:1, 2:1, or group settings.
We’re looking for creative, forward-thinking Support Workers who are passionate, caring, and driven to help others achieve their goals. If you’re someone who loves to think outside the box and make a difference, we want to hear from you!
