We believe in ordinary lives with extraordinary potential.
Why We Exist
We believe in belonging, not just being present, We believe that with the right support, people with disabilities can thrive, not in isolation, but as part of the fabric of life.
Our Story
A proud Mackay-based organisation since 1985.
Engedi Inc. is based in Mackay, established in 1985 by a group of local parents who saw a need for greater support, opportunity, and inclusion for their children living with disability. What began as a single respite house has grown into a vibrant not-for-profit organisation supporting individuals and families across our community.
Over the years, we’ve expanded our services to the four listed below, all while staying true to our community roots and person-centred values.

Testimonials
‘I have two gorgeous girls with disabilities in my care, so you can imagine how many services we have to deal with. Engedi are at the top of our tree, nothing is too much trouble if there is something that needs follow up, it is one in a timely manner. We wish every service were as good as them. We really appreciate everything they do for us.’
Debbie – Family member
‘We have been with Engedi for some time now and, in our experience with the NDIS over the years, have yet to encounter a provider that has treated us with respect, understanding, compassion and professionalism as Engedi. They have gone beyond to give us help and see that our needs are satisfied. Our supporter has done more for us than we could ever have expected. She has gone out of her way to see that our needs have been taken care of.
We will be eternally grateful and indebted to her and Engedi for what they have done. I dread to think of where we would be without their help. We have no hesitation in recommending the professional and understanding services of Engedi to those whose needs require compassion and understanding.’
