Changing the trajectory. Together.

Disability and Youth Communities Ltd (DAYC) is a Gold Coast-based charity providing free advocacy, peer support, and community connection to people who face barriers to participation — because of disability, age, mental health, or social isolation. We're a registered charity (ACNC) and endorsed Public Benevolent Institution with Deductible Gift Recipient status, meaning donations over $2 are tax-deductible. 

To change the trajectory of young people, people with disabilities, and marginalised communities so they face fewer barriers to living a fuller life — through advocacy, education, social connection, and access to support.

A Gold Coast and South East Queensland where disability, youth, and other barriers to participation are met with expert, compassionate, and freely accessible support — and where DAYC is the trusted hub connecting people in need to that support.

From one-on-one disability advocacy and NDIS navigation, peer support, to structured social connection events for autistic adults and young people — DAYC meets people where they are. See our full range of services below.
