It’s with great excitement and a sense of achievement, Engedi Inc will celebrate 40 years of providing excellent support to people living with disability and their families in the Mackay region.

Engedi began when a group of parents recognised a need to be supported and offer their children a greater opportunity for inclusion and growth as valuable members of society. With this inspiration at the fore, Engedi Inc. began as a one-house organisation. This house was used for respite care for children and adults and became a place of refuge, refreshment, restoration and flourishing in the midst of the challenging journey of living with disability as the name, Engedi, so appropriately reflects.

Over the years Engedi has grown into a not-for-profit. Our organisation includes 10 Supported Independent Living houses and provide support to people living with a variety of disabilities to be independent, safe, valued and included. We also offer Life Skills programs which include social group activities and skill building opportunities for participants. Engedi also offers Physiotherapy, Speech and Occupational Therapy, Support Coordination and Plan Management through our Therapy Hub.

To celebrate our history, our participants and families, and current operations, we are holding a gala event on the 25 January 2025. We would like to invite you to be a part of this celebration.

We are planning night filled with joy, gratitude, and a shared commitment to making a difference. Mango Junction will be playing and we will enjoy a 3 course menu. See you at the gala!
