The Heritage Home That Still Cares

Nestled in the heart of Auburn, a heritage-listed building quietly holds stories of care, healing, and community life that span over a century. This building, once a doctor’s surgery and family residence from the early 1900s, has witnessed generations of people coming through its doors seeking comfort and support. Today, it stands renewed as the Auburn Mega Centre, a modern hub for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) run by Family Care Australia. This transformation continues the building’s legacy of care, now focused on supporting people with disabilities to live with independence and inclusion.

A Building Rooted in Community Care

The story of this building begins in the early 20th century when it served as both a family home and a doctor’s surgery. For decades, it was a place where families from Auburn and surrounding areas came for medical advice, treatment, and reassurance. The walls have quietly witnessed countless moments of healing, hope, and human connection.

This heritage-listed building is more than bricks and mortar; it is a symbol of continuity in community care. Its presence reminds us how places can carry the spirit of those who came before, shaping the experiences of those who enter today.

Reimagined for Modern Care

Family Care Australia has carefully reimagined this historic site to meet the needs of today’s NDIS participants. The Auburn Mega Centre is designed to be welcoming, accessible, and supportive—a place where people with disabilities, their families, and carers feel safe and valued.

The centre brings together multiple NDIS services under one roof, including:

• Support coordination to help participants navigate their plans

• Therapy services tailored to individual needs

• Community engagement programs that foster connection and inclusion

• Information and referral services to link participants with local resources

  
  

By preserving the building’s heritage features while updating its facilities, Family Care Australia honours the past while creating a space fit for the future. The same walls that once sheltered a doctor’s care now support a broader vision of independence and inclusion for people with disabilities.

A Legacy That Continues

The transformation of this heritage building into the Auburn Mega Centre is more than a renovation. It is a continuation of a legacy that values human dignity, compassion, and community connection. The centre’s team understands that care is not just about services but about relationships built on trust and respect.

For many participants, visiting the Mega Centre is a chance to be part of a community that listens and responds to their needs. The centre’s design reflects this ethos, with spaces that encourage interaction, privacy when needed, and easy access for people with diverse abilities.

Care That Connects Community

The Auburn Mega Centre is a gathering place where NDIS participants, families, carers, and local community members come together. By housing multiple services in one location, the centre makes it easier for people to access the support they need without travelling to different places.

This approach builds stronger connections between participants and service providers, creating a network of support that extends beyond individual appointments. It also fosters a sense of belonging, where everyone is welcomed and included.

Visitors to the centre often comment on the warm atmosphere and the feeling that they are stepping into a place that truly cares. This spirit reflects the building’s history and the ongoing commitment of Family Care Australia to serve the Auburn community.
