To our participants: thank you for trusting us to be part of your story. Your resilience and growth inspire us every single day.

To our networks and providers: thank you for your ongoing collaboration. It’s through these strong local connections that we’re able to help our community thrive and reach their goals.

Here’s to many more years of support, connection, and celebrating every win—big and small! 🥂💚

We’re now taking participants for our Term 2 Thrive Programs.

Thrive is designed for people who often fall between mainstream employment programs and traditional disability services. Many programs are built around group-based, classroom-style learning and fixed expectations. For a lot of people, those environments simply don’t fit how they learn, process information or build confidence.

Our programs are one-to-one, personalised and hands-on. We work alongside each person to build practical skills and move towards goals such as employment or volunteering, in ways that fit the person rather than forcing the person to fit the system.

Programs usually run for 10 weeks, with the option to extend where it’s genuinely needed.

Streams available in Term 2 include literacy, finding and keeping a job, gardening, maintenance, retail, food prep and starting your own business. If there’s a skill or industry you’re interested in that isn’t listed here, reach out to our team. We design programs around the person, so we may still be able to support what you’re aiming to learn.

Local area coordinators help NDIS participants work towards their goals, including connecting to informal, mainstream and community supports.

They can help you to find relevant information about the NDIS, understand and access the NDIS, support and implement your NDIS plan and apply for any changes to your plan if required.
