Ryde Community Aid and Information Centre
(NRCA) was established in 1979 by members
of the North Ryde Uniting Church, now
North Ryde Community Church. |
 |
In response to the need in the local area, these residents set up an office in the front room of a local house, and soon a social group on a Thursday was started which continues to be enjoyed today.
Over time other groups and programs were established and these developed into the support which continues today.
Our community work is
coordinated by a culturally diverse team of staff, ably assisted by volunteers from our local community.
Some of these services are now funded by the Department of Ageing, Disability and Home Care as Home and Community Care (HACC) services and are provided to older people as well as to those with a disability and to their carers.
North Ryde Community Aid & Information Centre strives to build a caring community, where people know and respect one another, assist one another and contribute to the common good.
Our
Front Desk is attended from 9am to 4 pm -
Monday
to
Friday.

Upon moving to Sydney from Brisbane 6 years ago, I was successful and fortunate in securing the position as Centre Coordinator for North Ryde Community Aid. I say fortunate because this Centre is an amazing and dynamic place to work.
After a period of time as a volunteer on our Management Committee whilst on Maternity Leave I am now back working as the Centre Manager and loving it.
I live in the local area with my husband and 3 small children. |
