Frequently asked questions
It’s continuous support in your home — day and night. You might need a support worker available around the clock, overnight check-ins, or help with complex care needs. We design it around what works for you. And you don’t need to move into shared accommodation unless that’s what you want.
It’s NDIS-funded support that helps you take part in social, recreational and community activities with a dedicated support worker by your side. You choose what you do — your support worker helps you feel confident doing it.
Group excursions are community-based outings you do with others — out and about in Melbourne, not at a set venue. Think attending a sports game, dancing at a local club, volunteering together, checking out landmarks, or trying something totally new. It’s about getting out, having fun, and making friends along the way.
Group excursions happen out in the community — they can be one-off events or regular group activities. Day programs run on set days at one of our Club Aruma hubs, with a calendar of workshops, activities and social events. Some people love one or the other. Plenty of people do a mix of both. Whatever suits you.
Anything you’re into. Think gym, cooking classes, art, music, catching up with friends, markets, volunteering, learning public transport — even surfing or photography. You set the pace.

Yes. Aruma is a registered not-for-profit NDIS provider and has been for over 60 years. That means everything we earn goes straight back into the people we support, our staff and our services.
We’re registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission, which means we meet strict standards around safety, quality and the rights of the people we support. It also means your NDIS funding can be used with us across all our services.
Being not-for-profit is more than a label for us. It shapes how we operate, how we hire, and how we make decisions. We’re not driven by shareholder returns. We’re driven by outcomes for the people who walk through our doors.
