At Interchange Illawarra we believe holidays should be fun. We offer a selection of options available to participants at each location we visit and let the group choose what they would like to do. We do not schedule every minute of every day, instead we are responsive and flexible.
Support is provided by experienced disability support workers who are in many cases already familiar to the participants from other Interchange Illawarra group activities or previous holidays. Where possible we book houses or serviced apartments rather than hotel rooms and our support workers try their best to ensure that participants have a great time with their friends and get the most out of their holiday.
For more information about our Social Support Short Holidays, or to find out if they are the right fit for you, please contact our office on info@interchangeillawarra.org or call 4227 1079. You can also check out our brochure here.
Four Interchange Illawarra Social Support participants enjoyed a fun filled holiday in Victoria in March 2023. The group visited Melbourne Zoo, Botanical Gardens, Geelong, Split Point Lighthouse, Lorne Pier, Wye River and Bells Beach. Plus they had fun hanging out with their friends and support workers, Kade and Sophie.
Lots of holiday fun was had at The Entrance, NSW, by six of the Interchange Illawarra Social Support participants in February 2023. The group visited the Amazement Farm and Fun park, swam in the resort pool, enjoyed meals out and a bbq, and visited Norah Heads Lighthouse. Some participants even got up close and personal with a snake! Best of all they had fun hanging out with their friends and support workers, Anne and Sue.
Six Interchange Illawarra Social Support participants enjoyed an amazing holiday on the Gold Coast in November 2022. The group visited local theme parks, swam in the resort pool, enjoyed meals out and shopped at the night markets. Best of all they had fun hanging out with their friends and support workers, Kade and Sophie.
Interchange Illawarra Short Holidays are a great way to explore Australia in a relaxed, supported environment.
