Clean Care Cairns is a not-for-profit cleaning business which was formed by a Joint Venture of 4 separate not-for-profit organisations, with the support from Social Ventures Australia. These organisations are Aftercare, Worklink, Centacare Cairns, and Direct Employment Services. Working under a social enterprise model, Clean Care Cairns has a strong commitment to create jobs and transitional employment pathways for people with a mental health issue and/or other disabilities in the Cairns region.
Personal Helpers & Mentors (PHaMs) Employment Service provides direct, personalised outreach support to assist people whose ability to find and keep a job is impacted by mental illness.
The service aims to increase opportunities to engage in employment by working closely with participants to access government employment service providers and other community services to ensure people have all the support they need.
PHaMs Employment Services will work with people with mental illness who receive Disability Support Pension and other payments to help them become ready to enter the workforce.
