Community Access
Be a part of your Community, enjoy the outdoors, take in a movie, try some bushwalking, how about canoeing on the lake? The opportunities are endless!
Daily Living Assistance
Need a hand with everyday things? A bit of cooking or cleaning support? There's so many things that can come under this heading, it's up to you what you choose.
Social Support
"Friendship isn't a big thing, it's lots of small things." Join one of our Social Support groups and meet some like minded people and choose what you would like to do together. We have Social Support groups that run during the week, on weekends and evenings too!

Coordination
You have goals? We do too! The funny thing is.... our goals look very much like yours! Our Support Coordinators get pretty excited about helping to make things happen and bringing smiles to everyone's faces! The possibilities are endless.
Short Term Accommodation & Holidays
Guess who has three properties to choose from for a little bit of respite? (that would be us of course!) You can even go away on a Short Holiday - cruises, Gold Coast, North Coast, Melbourne, Blue Mountains, Snowy Mountains... just to name a few of our past trips!
Saturplay (One of our badly kept secrets)
We are so proud of our Saturplay Program! Developed for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and/or challenging behaviours between the ages of 4 and 12. It's fun, it's social, and it's in an environment where children can develop skills and access the community. You'll be pretty impressed with this Program, that's for sure!
