Our Recreation Activities
Regular Social Nights
Relax and connect with others at our social nights. Typical evenings include music, dancing, cooking, arts and crafts, movies, board games and casual sports. These events are friendly, structured and supported, so everyone can join in at their own pace.
Day Activities
Join us for day trips and local adventures across Victoria. Each month we plan a mix of outings such as markets and festivals, sporting events, nature walks, gallery or museum visits, swimming, lunches and movies. One to one support can be arranged within group settings where required, so participants feel confident and included.
Monthly Discos
Our discos are a favourite. They are a chance to celebrate, dance and enjoy themed nights with friends. The vibe is inclusive and upbeat, with simple routines, easy check in and plenty of encouragement from our team.
Weekends Away
Short breaks are a great way to try travel with support. We visit popular holiday parks and retreats where accommodation is comfortable and accessible. Packages include key essentials like accommodation and meals, so participants can focus on enjoying the weekend, building routines and trying new activities.
Interstate Holidays
For those who want to explore further, our supported interstate trips head to well loved destinations such as Sydney, Darwin, Adelaide, Cairns, the Gold Coast and Tasmania. We handle the planning and logistics including transport, accommodation and daily schedules. Holidays are designed to balance sightseeing, rest and social time so everyone returns with great memories and new skills.
How We Support Clients
Every activity is staffed by experienced, friendly support workers who understand individual needs and goals. We can help with travel, meal planning, personal care, medication prompts and community access. Before each activity or trip, we confirm preferences, accessibility needs and any risk considerations, then provide clear information for participants and families.
Funding and Fees
Recreation activities can be funded through the NDIS where suitable line items apply. If you do not have NDIS funding, you can still take part through our Fee for Service option by paying for the activities you would like to join.
