Cam Can assists people with disabilities and their families to create innovative, personalised, flexible and sustainable arrangements that maximise their control over available resources, decision making and choice.
Cam Can was established in 2011 by Marc and Anthea Lema who felt disillusioned by the traditional services offered to people with disabilities. Wanting more for their son, Cameron, Marc and Anthea took a leap of faith, and followed their hearts and ideas. Assuming their frustrations were shared by many others, Marc and Anthea made a bold move by leaving their respective jobs, with the result being the establishment of Cam Can.
What started as two people and a lap-top in a lounge room, has evolved into thousands of lives being changed for the better. This success has been achieved by not compromising on their initial ideals for people with disability – to create innovative, personalised, flexible and sustainable arrangements that maximise their control over available resources, decision making and choice.
