We offer that too! If you prefer a dedicated support worker to help you get out and about on your own terms, check out our one-on-one community support. With this service, you choose what you want to do, where you want to go, and how often you need support.

Yes! We offer a number of community-based groups you can join, including:

Adventure Group: Looking for adventure, or whatever comes your way? This group connects you with people your age who, just like you, want to try new things and flex your independence. Activities include seats at the latest musical or tickets to sporting events. Explore and experience it firsthand.

You Group It!: Take the lead! Take control and flex your skills to design, develop and run a special interest group for others to join. How about organising weekends away or hotel stay-cations? You decide!

FriYAY!: Love a good Friday vibe? Join others in your age group for guaranteed Friday fun including cheering on your favourite footy team, movies, dinner, dancing, karaoke and more.

A day program like Club Aruma is a great option if you enjoy doing activities with others. You’ll join group activities at set times at one of our hubs, making friends and trying new things together.

One-on-one community support gives you a dedicated support worker who focuses entirely on you and your goals. You choose the activities, and everything is designed around your schedule and interests.

Both options work well, and some people choose a mix of both. It’s whatever suits you best.

Absolutely. A big part of what we do is helping you build skills and confidence so you can do more over time. Whether it’s cooking, budgeting, building social connections, or trying something completely new, we tailor our support to match your goals and learning style.

Every skill you gain is a step towards the independence you want.
