About Us
We don’t just work — we care.
At Happy Days Care, we start from a simple belief: recovery isn’t something that happens to you in a clinic — it happens in your life, with your people, doing things that actually feel like living again.
Most support services are built to manage a condition. We’re built to help you rebuild a life around it.
That’s a different job, and it needs a different approach. So we built ours around community. Every week, there’s a full program to book into — morning coastal walks, group breakfasts, gym sessions, surf lessons, fishing trips, cooking nights, cinema evenings, bowling, and more. Real activities, with real people, alongside support workers who understand what you’re going through because many of them have been through something like it themselves.
What makes this work is variety. Recovery doesn’t look the same for a 19-year-old rebuilding confidence after a mental health crisis as it does for a 40-year-old relearning independence after a serious accident. So we didn’t build one program and hope everyone fits into it. We built a range of activities and a range of people, so that wherever you are in your life, whatever stage, whatever pace — there’s a group you belong in, an activity that suits you, and a place that feels like yours.
Alongside our group programs, we offer one-on-one recovery coaching and daily life support, for the moments that need something more individual.
We think recovery should feel like this — connected, active, and genuinely yours. Not a waiting room. Not a checklist. A place where you find your people again, and slowly, your Happy Days.
How We Started
Our Story
How Happy Days Care came to be.
Happy Days Care exists because our founder, Yassin, kept noticing the same gap — and eventually, he couldn’t unsee it.
His path here wasn’t planned. He served in the German Navy on refugee rescue missions around Africa, Greece, and Turkey, where he sat with people in some of the hardest moments of their lives. During COVID, he spent time with elderly people who were living alone, just being present with them — company, conversation, small activities, the things that matter when the world goes quiet. And over the years since, he’s worked hands-on in disability support and veteran support across Australia.
Different settings, but the same thing kept showing up. People who weren’t in crisis anymore, but didn’t feel like themselves yet either. People with support in place, but support that didn’t quite reach them — efficient, maybe, but not personal. Plans that looked right on paper but missed the person underneath.
That stuck with him. Not as a business idea, but as something he couldn’t shake — a quiet sense that people deserved to be seen, not just supported. So he built Happy Days Care around that: a place where connection comes first, and the paperwork serves the person, not the other way around.
It’s why our team is made up of people with real, hands-on experience — not just qualifications on paper. They understand what it means to sit with someone, because most of them have done exactly that.
We never rush you. We never make you feel like a number. And we never disappear when it gets hard. That’s the promise Happy Days Care was built on.
