Welcome to the inaugural Care Expo Melbourne.

From in-home care to residential aged care and retirement living, to pain relief, disability services, home and vehicle modifications, mental health support and a whole lot more, this event is designed to connect people to the information and care options they need to live their best life.

All too often people are presented with untimely challenges in their life around their health and wellbeing. Care Expo’s goal is to connect people to service providers and products that will improve their capabilities and that will hopefully help them and their loved ones enjoy a more confident and fulfilling lifestyle.

We find that it is not always the person who needs the help and support that comes to Care Expo. It is the partner, brother, sister, son, daughter or neighbour of the person in need who comes looking for guidance on how they can help someone they love. Care Expo is the perfect place to find that guidance.

We have a great range of exhibitors showcasing amazing products and providing crucial information, direct from industry professionals.

To complement these brilliant displays, world class speakers will deliver talks and presentations on a range of relevant and important topics, including how to access NDIS funding and other Government initiatives.

We hope that we can connect you and your loved ones to the help and care that they need to empower you to live your best life.

AGAPI Care Inc.

AGAPI Care Inc. (AGAPI Care) was established in 1987 by a group of Greek-Australian parents who were unwavering in their belief that their children with a disability were entitled to the same access to programs and services as other members of the community without prejudice or disadvantage. Faced with language and cultural barriers that hindered access to mainstream services for their children, the families created a not-for-profit organisation, whose purpose was to provide information and support services, including advocacy and referrals, to people with a disability of Greek heritage and their families. In response to the needs of the community, AGAPI Care quickly extended its services to include all people with a disability. AGAPI Care empowers and supports people with disabilities to be valued members of their community. It promotes one community equal in every way, regardless of race, beliefs, background, religion, and gender. Talk to them at site P12.
