Multicap Australia

We're proud to be at the Musgrave Park Family Fun Day today celebrating NAIDOC Week alongside community, Elders, families and organisations from across the region. 🖤💛❤️

It's a wonderful opportunity to come together, celebrate the rich cultures, histories and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and connect with the many people and organisations making a difference in our communities.

We’re enjoying the vibrant atmosphere, meaningful conversations and community spirit that make NAIDOC Week such a special event. If you're at Musgrave Park, come and say hello, we are at site M02 until 5pm, we'd love to meet you.

Multicap is at the Broadmeadows Community Disability Expo in Melbourne today.

We are looking forward to a fantastic day connecting with individuals, families and service providers who share our passion for inclusion and accessibility.

Centre of Creative Arts Spotlight: this month we are featuring COCA theatre.

The Centre of Creative Arts (COCA) is a space where talent meets opportunity.

Led by professional artists, the program is available to all Multicap customers and provides pathways for our artists to develop their creative abilities and professional potential. (Featuring in the image is our Pine Rivers COCA theatre setting up the green screen for an immersive filming experience)

We’re excited to share a recent upgrade to our workspace at Makeables Rocklea, designed to better support our growing team and daily operations.

In a busy warehouse environment where employees build vocational skills across commercial co-packing services such as component assembly, light engineering, packaging services, and administrative tasks, it’s essential that our space is both functional and comfortable. As part of this project, we’ve refurbished 18 worktables, replacing old tabletops to higher grade units that are better suited to the working environment, ensuring our team has the room and resources they need to work safely and effectively.

We’ve also introduced commercial air conditioning units and installed industrial fans, helping to create a more comfortable environment that supports wellbeing and productivity throughout the day in the warmer months.

These improvements not only strengthen the quality and efficiency of our operations but also reflect our ongoing commitment to providing a supportive, inclusive workplace where employees can continue to learn, develop, and thrive.

This project is proudly funded by the Lord Mayor’s Better Suburbs Grants from Brisbane City Council.

Great coffee, made with purpose.

Monte Lupo Café and Coffee Carts serve quality coffee, light meals and catering from two locations in Brisbane, supporting Multicap employees and the wider community.

Behind every cup is something more meaningful.

Through our cafés and coffee carts, people with disability build real-world skills in hospitality, from customer service and coffee making to food preparation, delivery and more.

Each year, the team serves over 20,500 drinks. Twenty-seven supported employees contribute 354 hours of work every week.

When you visit Monte Lupo Café, you are not just grabbing a coffee. You are supporting inclusive employment and helping create more opportunities in our community.

Find us at:
Monte Lupo Cafe Banyo — 217a Tufnell Rd, Banyo QLD 4014
Monte Lupo Cafe and Arts — 269 Padstow Rd, Eight Mile Plains QLD 4113

You will find us at the DEA Aged and Disability Expo in Melbourne today and tomorrow.

The COCA Collage group at Capalaba has been deep in the detail lately.

The session opened with refinements to the group collage, with lighter textured paper used to bring a softer tone to the ghost gum. From there, artists moved into their independent works, each at a different stage of their practice.

Sherree hand-sewed a second balloon for her mobile, Rachael continued perfecting her dog drawings and prepared an undercoated canvas, and Ashleigh took an independent step, following video instructions to draw two different breeds entirely on her own. Emily worked on sketches of her foxie and is exploring paper options ahead of her solo exhibition in September.

The COCA Collage group at Capalaba spent a recent session taking stock of where their work is heading.

The group reflected on their large-scale collage and mapped out what is still needed to bring it together, including some gold leaf that is very much on the horizon. They also reviewed their independent projects and worked through the next steps needed to have everything ready for the first exhibition in the ""A Book By Any Other Name"" series, opening in September.

With a mix of genres represented across the works, the group is navigating both the creative possibilities and the challenges that come with them.
