AddressAbout us
Finding Yellow was founded in 1978 by parents in the Hunter Region, aimed to improve support for individuals with disabilities. Driven by community support and fundraising, they sought a brighter future for their children. In 1982, the Cessnock Hostel was established, providing essential support and accommodation for local clients/participants with disabilities. Renamed "Finding Yellow" in 2013, the organisation remains committed to enhancing the lives of those with disabilities, striving to bring joy and fulfillment to all abilities. Today, Finding Yellow offers comprehensive disability support in Support Coordination (COS), Supported Independent Living (SIL), Independent Living Options (ILO), Community Drop-in Supports, Socials & Supported Getaways.
