What are Day Programs?

Day programs encompass a variety of structured activities on site and out in the community designed to support adults with disabilities in their daily lives to learn new skills, build independence, and promote social participation. The aim of our disability day programs is to empower people with disability to live fulfilling and meaningful lives by offering opportunities for personal growth through socialising and community access.

What’s Included in Our Day Programs?

Each of our sites offer a timetable of engaging activities, with some popular activities running consistently and others changing throughout the year to provide choice for our participants to have new experiences or work on new skills.

Programs are designed to support wellbeing, life skill development and social connection, with a mix of site-based experiences, community outings, and group activities.

Activities Based Around your Goals

There are lots of fun ways to achieve individual goals, including:  

Life Skills Development: These focus on developing practical life skills, such as managing money, cooking, reading and writing, all aimed to increase independence, confidence and ability to navigate daily tasks.  

Recreational Activities: Opportunities to connect and have fun through arts and crafts, sports, gardening, music and dance, supporting creativity, social connection and overall wellbeing. 

Training and Support: Day Programs can also be linked in with vocational training programs, volunteering and work experience through our Job Skills Building program to help individuals find and keep a job.
