Term-Based Program

Our term-based model provides and designed to provide consistent, structured support that helps young people build real skills, confidence and connection over time. Rather than operating as a casual drop-in service, our sessions follow a therapeutic, goal-focused approach aligned with NDIS outcomes and person-centred practice. While enrolment is for the full 12-week term, sessions can be billed weekly. This provides families with predictable, manageable payments rather than a large upfront cost and allows supports to align with regular NDIS plan budgets.

Program Options (12-Week Term)

Standard Program – 2 Sessions Per Week
Intensive Program – 3 Sessions Per Week

Consistency & Routine - Predictable sessions help reduce anxiety and improve regulation, especially for neurodivergent participants.
Relationship Building- Stable peer groups allow friendships to grow naturally, supporting social skill development and a sense of belonging.
Goal Progression - Staff can track progress across the term, adjusting supports to meet each participant’s evolving needs.
Stronger Outcomes - Regular engagement leads to improved confidence, communication skills, digital literacy, and independence.
Reserved Program Placement - Participants have a secured spot each week, removing the stress of rebooking or missing out due to limited availability.

Optional Add-Ons (All Tiers)

Additional 1:1 counselling
Transport support (where required)

Tier suitability can be reviewed and adjusted over time as goals and needs change.

Group & Centre-Based Community Participation

Our core programs are delivered in small group settings and focus on supporting participants to access community, social, and recreational activities.

Using gaming, technology, and shared interests, participants are supported to:

Build social skills and confidence
Develop communication and teamwork
Increase comfort in group and community settings
Reduce isolation and strengthen social connections

Programs are structured, low-pressure, and aligned with individual NDIS goals for community participation and capacity building.

Session Options

- Optional 30-minute individual counselling session available as an add-on

Individual Supports

Participants may choose to add individual support sessions, including access to a qualified ACA registered counsellor to support:

Adjustment and adaptation
Building confidence for participation in groups and the community
Navigating life changes and transitions

These supports are optional and designed to complement group participation.

Session Options

30-minute individual session
60-minute individual session

Clinical notes and session documentation are completed within the booked session time and form part of the support delivery.

Career Pathways & Transition Support

Our programs support teens and young adults to prepare for future pathways, including further education, employment, or adult life.

Supports may include:

Exploring interests and strengths
Building confidence for work and study environments
Understanding expectations in adult and community settings
Supporting transitions from school into post-school life

Transport to and from our facility can be included where required. This support assists participants who experience barriers accessing community-based programs independently and helps reduce stress for families and carers. Where transport is provided, supports are delivered efficiently without the need to charge for staff waiting time, helping to maximise participant funding and improve overall plan value.

Life Skills & Independence Building

Life skills are developed naturally through group participation and shared activities, supporting:

Communication and social interaction
Confidence in everyday and community settings
Problem-solving and decision-making
Increased independence

These supports are delivered as part of group programs and aligned with NDIS goals.
