Community-based Group Supports for Adults
Let’s see what we can do together!
Are you looking to get more active and do more?
Our Group Supports are services designed for like minded adults with disability coming together in small groups to do the things that your enjoy. You’ll be with other people who share the same interests, goals and abilities, together we’ll work out what you want to do and how you can be supported to do it your way.
From learning new skills to increase your independence to discovering your passion and career, our program is aimed at people who want to do more and get out there.
I learned a lot more about work and etiquette, I didn’t have a lot of experience with that, or a lot of knowledge. I also learned more about how important communication is in life and in work.

Person centred active support
We focus on person centred active support. This is an approach that is fundamental to the provision of effective, person-centred support. It is a way of providing assistance to people that focuses on making sure individuals are engaged and have the ability to participate in all areas of their life.
The practical outcome of person centred active support is better engagement. This means we explore ways of supporting you the way you want to be supported, with guidance from you, your family, community group and anyone you want us to connect to.
We don’t believe in a rigid system with broad solutions that compromise our level of service. Hence the way we manage the delivery of our group services depends on our clients, disability supports needs, interests and engagement. For example, many of our Recreation groups plan activities as a team, manage the social calendar, research businesses and use their skills to create a personalised event plan for their group.
Support designed for people who want to do more
Our program of support is designed for people who want to get out there and get more involved. We work with small groups who are like minded to build a program that is fun, engaging and goal orientated.
