Empowering people and their communities
Education, employment and training have always been fundamental to Bamara’s commitment to helping local communities prosper, we’re able to grow our programs and services in the jobs and employment sector to help further people achieve economic independence.
ParentsNext
ParentsNext is a government pre-employment program that supports parents and carers who receive Parenting Payments as they navigate and prepare for the next stage in their career or education.
At Bamara, we understand that everything you do is for your kids but balancing work and family life can be difficult.
ParentsNext provides support and resources to help you build your confidence and skills.
Dubbo Opportunity Hub
Dubbo Opportunity Hub (DHUB) is a program of support that works closely with the schools in Dubbo and Wellington to build the confidence and knowledge of Aboriginal students to achieve their desired career pathway.
DHUB is a whole community approach. We create links between schools, employers, training providers, support services and Aboriginal communities and work in partnership to find and create opportunities.
We also partner with schools to add value to relevant existing programs or initiatives. In-school sessions focus on aspiration building, career pathway planning and setting up young people for successful and fulfilling employment.
Driver Licensing Access Program
The Driver Licensing Access Program (DLAP) is a free learning to drive program.
It makes getting your driver licence accessible for community groups that may have difficulty due to employment, education, family, training, or lack of support.
We teach you all the driving basics so you can get your driver licence. If you have previously had a licence but lost it, we can help you regain your licence and resolve any debt.
NDIS
Bamara Care is a registered provider of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
Our people care – we’re here to support you and your life choices. As a registered NDIS provider, Bamara Care can deliver supports and services to people who are on an NDIS plan or looking at accessing an NDIS plan for themselves or family members.
All Bamara Care’s passionate and highly trained staff have the experience, qualifications and dedication to help you live the life you choose.
Education and Training
Bamara Education and Training take a professional, holistic and tailored approach to the learning needs of our student cohorts, taking into account the local and regional education and employment needs aligned to personal aspirations, but also to industry and sector growth areas.
Our quality-assured and nationally recognised qualifications are delivered nationwide through our Registered Training Organisation with the Australian Skills Quality Authority.
Bamara Education and Training also caters to the training needs of businesses and their employees.
Reach Out, Seek Help; it can be life changing
