Leaving a Bequest Having a Will in place shows you care. It is your forward plan showing how you want your assets distributed. Your Will lets you provide for your family and leave mementos to friends. It also lets you continue supporting the charities that are important to you. A gift in your Will enables charities like us to continue the good work we do. When you put the Carinbundi Foundation in your Will, you will be leaving a legacy that reflects the compassion you showed during your own lifetime. We encourage you to talk to your legal and financial advisers about your individual circumstances and what works for you. It's also important to talk with your family so they understand your wishes. We have also provided more information on bequests on our website:
Dignity Freedom Safety Independence However you help, you can be assured you are helping provide Dignity, Freedom, Safety and Independence to people with a disability in Bundaberg. Do you ever wonder where people with disability live? What their home-life is like? Who looks after them when they are at home? Who are their friends? Do they have holidays? Are they at risk of abuse? What happens if their family members are unable to care for them any longer? What if their mum or dad have to go into aged care? What if their siblings are unable to support

them? Who looks after their financial security? At the Carinbundi Foundation, we DO think about all of these questions. Every single day. These are the questions that drive our vision.

Disability Homes for Life
Safe and secure homes for people with disability People with disabilities want quality, affordable housing where they can be part of a small community, feel safe and secure and have the necessary support they need to live a full and happy life and reach their full potential. A place they can call "HOME". Families want peace of mind knowing their loved ones are safe and happy. People with disabilities and mental health issues are amongst the most vulnerable in our community. There is a significant risk that these people, without assistance, could face homelessness. This is because of barriers finding accommodation due to lack of income (living off DSP), lack of quality/affordable housing and potential discrimination in the rental market.
Who are we The Carinbundi Foundation is a registered charity and relies on community support to continue providing accommodation for people with intellectual and/or physical disabilities in the Bundaberg region.
Disability Homes for Life
It is not just about providing houses for people with disabilities - it is much more than that. We build houses that become homes where residents are free to be themselves, where they feel safe and secure and can share with like-minded friends. These houses will be their "forever homes". As a not-for-profit we can offer homes at less than market rental rates - giving residents additional money each week to go out and be part of their community. We want inclusiveness to be affordable. These homes will be close to community amenities where residents can visit their local shops and become integral members of their community.
