Madcap Cafe make coffee to employ people and focus on ability, not disability.  Providing work opportunities for people experiencing mental ill health.

On top of the health benefits, the MadCap venture represents potential savings to the Government of $6 million over 10 years. For each person on a Disability Support Pension (DSP) working 15 hours a week, the government saves $167 fortnightly.
