Social Support Programs where you have a say!

More than just support - it's about connection

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!

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!

we are Interchange Illawarra

For over 40 years we have supported people with disabilities and their parents/carers in living their best lives, with particular expertise in working with people who have ASD and/or intellectual disabilities.

Our young adult son, Sean, enjoys attending youth group Saturday’s and short term stays offered with Interchange Illawarra. He looks forward to spending time with his mates, the opportunity to increase his independence and life skills, as well as accessing the community in a fun and safe environment. The time Sean spends at Interchange also gives Colin and I some well needed down time, a break in a very busy routine, and the opportunity to spend some one on one time with Sean's sibling. We are grateful for the wonderful services Interchange Illawarra provides Sean and our family - Trish & Colin (Parents)

I just want to thank you for the lovely Xmas in July lunch yesterday at Steamers Bar & Grill. I had a very nice time and the food was great. Thank you once again.
