Information for Social Service Providers

We work with a range of social service communities and are open to providing a supportive work environment for people with additional needs.

As a small not-for-profit organisation, our capacity is limited. We are not formally contracted to deliver disability support services and cannot offer specialised care.

For this reason, please read through the protocols on the right before contacting us.

Social Service Protocols

  • We are a small space with a limited number of onsite staff. For health and safety reasons we are unable to host groups with more than 10 people.

    We retain the right to have a trial period and to limit the amount of time that people spend with us.

  • This is when agencies encourage their clients to ‘self -refer’ or contact us independent of the agency. These will be treated by us as direct referrals requiring formal involvement of the agency.

    We usually require clients of agencies to have support workers or family members with them onsite at all times.

  • Agency workers visiting the community gardens on an ad hoc basis for the purposes of placing a client are expected to identify themselves and the organisation they are working for.  A business card is ideal.

    Any attempts to disguise the nature of the client/agency relationship will be regarded as misrepresentation.

    We expect to develop a professional relationship between the Agency and the CSCGT. This means that we have:

    • Full contact details of the agency and one principal person to liaise with about the client.

    • Monthly reviews to discuss client progress
