Bringing childcare and community services to the Yorke Peninsula

Circle of Care operates learning, childcare, and community services in Yorke Peninsula – ensuring families and individuals in regional South Australia can access the support and services they need, close to home.

Who we are

A charity built for regional communities

Circle of Care is a registered charity dedicated to improving the services for families and communities on the Yorke Peninsula. We understand that living in a regional area comes with real challenges – particularly when it comes to accessing quality childcare, allied health, and social support services  – all that city residents often take for granted.

Through our two learning and care centres in Minlaton and Maitland, we work to bridge that gap – bringing essential services directly to the communities that need them most.

The challenge

Regional areas deserve better access to support

Families and individuals living outside major urban centres often face significant gaps in access to services that are readily available in cities – including early childhood education, allied health support, mental health services, and community programs.

Distance, limited local infrastructure, and workforce shortages mean that many on the Yorke Peninsula have historically had to travel long distances – or go without – when it comes to essential community services.

Circle of Care was established specifically to address this reality. By operating permanent, community-rooted centres on the peninsula, we reduce those barriers and provide a stable foundation of care and support that families and individuals can rely on throughout their lives.

Our focus is practical: make quality services accessible, keep them local, and deliver them with genuine care for the people and communities we serve.
