Explore
Our new one-to-one community activity program
Have fun, make friends, meet goals.
Say hello to our new community-based activity program Explore. This flexible, fun lineup includes all the activities you know and love (think bowling and footy). Plus, you get to choose from a bunch of new ones to build your own, individualised timetable.
Explore is made up of three mini programs – Connect, Move and Create. Each of the mini programs focus on a different area of life, so you can choose the activities you love, gain new skills and make the most of each and every day.
Explore mini programs run for 16 weeks. We’ll check in with you throughout and you can make changes to your timetable and chosen activities.
If you’re looking for something different, you can also build your own program. Mix and match the special activities you want to do with some of our regular activities.

Self-funded and Fee for Service Packages
You do not have to have government-approved funding packages, such as NDIS to access our disability supports and services.
Self-funded is a way for you to pay for services with your own money. This option provides flexibility to access the supports you need if you have a one-off request, or if your government funding package does not cover what you need. You can also self-fund supports while you wait for approval of a funding package.
Fee for Service Packages are also available for people who are self-funded and would like to access our range of disability services.
