What is Farm Life Day? 🐣

Farm Life Day is a supported, centre based program that invites you to spend time on the farm engaging in meaningful activities with animals, land, and people. It is about being outdoors, doing purposeful things, enjoying a slower pace, and connecting with others in ways that respect who you are.

What kinds of things might we do?
Activities vary depending on the season, the group, and your interests. These may include:
✅ Caring for and spending time with animals, which may include feeding and grooming horses, caring for fish, and looking after other animals on the property
✅ Hatching and raising chickens
✅ Planning, building, and maintaining animal shelters and spaces
✅ Gardening and working in outdoor spaces, including learning how to grow your own healthy food and being supported to make this possible at home
✅ Supported participation in farm tasks and projects that align with your goals and build real world skills transferable to other areas of life (such as planning, preparing, problem solving, and working alongside others)
✅ Sharing, preparing, and planning morning tea or lunch together
✅ Time to pause, take time out for yourself, observe, and enjoy a slower pace on the farm
You may also have opportunities to:
✅ Observe visiting wildlife throughout the seasons, including Max and Maggie the magpies, blue wrens and their harems, w***y wagtails, Jemima, Pumpkin and Nigel the mountain ducks, and at times wallabies, wedge tailed eagles, echidnas, lizards, and possums
✅ Take part in paddock to plate experiences
✅ Learn to build and operate a greenhouse
✅ Cultivate cuttings or seedlings as a budget friendly way to participate in nature
✅ Try new things and ignite new passions

Depending on group needs and preferences, there may also be opportunities for supported outings in the local community.

What can you expect from the program?
👉🏻 A calm, supportive environment with clear structure and purpose
👉🏻 Boundaries that are respected and encouraged, recognising that boundaries are an important social skill
👉🏻 Support workers who participate alongside you
👉🏻 Opportunities for connection without pressure to socialise in particular ways
👉🏻 Respect for individual preferences, energy levels, communication styles, and needs

Free Rein Adventure also has an on site large group room available for wet weather days or when an indoor space is preferred.

How does this align with NDIS supports?
Farm Life Day supports social connection and community participation by helping you build friendships and enjoy your community in ways that feel right for you.

Sometimes the NDIS refers to this as building informal supports. What this means is being supported to grow your own friendship groups and connections, based on shared experiences and interests.

The program also supports confidence, everyday life skills, and increasing independence through real world, meaningful experiences. It may be accessed through Core Supports or Capacity Building funding, depending on your plan and goals.

Anything else to know?
You don’t need prior farm experience. Curiosity, interest, and a willingness to engage in ways that suit you are enough.

What is Out & About in Nature? 🏔️

Out & About in Nature is a supported, group-based program all about getting out and enjoying the incredible natural spaces our region has to offer. It’s about fresh air, movement, shared experiences, and spending time in places that feel good to be in.

Rather than being task-focused or structured around activities indoors, this program invites you to explore, wander, and enjoy nature together — at a pace that feels right for you.

Where might we go?
Out & About in Nature takes place across a range of local outdoor locations, which may include:
🌴 Beaches and coastal areas
🪻 Bushland and forest tracks
🚣🏻 Waterfalls and rivers
🏞️ National and State Parks
🚶🏻‍ Scenic local walking trails

Each session is planned with accessibility, safety, and group needs in mind, while making the most of the beautiful environments around us.

What kinds of things might we do?
What we do depends on the location, the weather, and what the group enjoys. Activities may include:
✅ Bush walks and coastal walks
✅ Spending time at the beach
✅ Swimming at the beach or beautiful local outdoor pools (in warmer months)
✅ Snow play in winter when conditions allow
✅ Fishing
✅ Bike riding
✅ Geocaching and exploration
✅ Beach games and outdoor sports such as volleyball, cricket, soccer, or footy
✅ Barbecues and picnics
✅ Sitting, resting, or taking in the scenery
✅ Chatting while walking or enjoying quiet side-by-side time

There’s no pressure to keep up, compete, or do everything. You choose how you take part.

What can you expect from the program?
✅ A relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere
✅ Time outdoors in places that feel open and refreshing
✅ Clear planning without rigid expectations
✅ Support to access and move through outdoor environments safely
✅ Respect for boundaries, energy levels, and personal space

Support workers are there to support access and safety, while encouraging independence and shared experiences with others in the group.

How does this program support connection and independence?
Out & About in Nature is a great way to meet people who enjoy the same kinds of things you do — being outdoors, exploring new places, and spending time in nature.

Spending time together in relaxed outdoor settings makes it easier for friendships to grow naturally. Connection often happens side by side — walking, fishing, swimming, playing games, sharing a picnic, or just enjoying the view together — without pressure to talk or act in certain ways.

Over time, people often notice:
✅ Making new friends or widening their friendship circle
✅ Feeling more comfortable spending time with others
✅ Enjoying getting out and about more often
✅ Feeling more confident going to new places
✅ Building social connections that can continue outside the program

Where it feels helpful, staff can gently support you to notice how confidence, friendships, and experiences from the group can carry over into other parts of your life.

How does this align with NDIS supports?
This program supports NDIS goals related to:
👉🏻 Social and community participation
👉🏻 Confidence and independence outside the home
👉🏻 Building informal social connections through shared interests

Possible billing alignment may include Capacity Building supports, depending on individual goals and plans.

Transport and Access
Transport to and from meeting locations can be arranged where required. Transport needs are discussed during intake so everything is planned safely and in a way that works for you.
Free Rein Adventure has the capability to access a wide range of natural environments, including waterfalls, lagoons, secluded beaches, bushland, scenic mountain and valley views, forest tracks, and alpine areas. Our comfortable, well equipped four wheel drive Ford Wildtrak Rangers allow us to safely reach places that aren’t accessible by standard vehicles, while still prioritising comfort, safety, and enjoyment.

As part of the program, we also enjoy discovering hidden natural gems in the local area. Where appropriate, participants may be supported to learn about places they could revisit outside of the program with family or friends, or access independently — sometimes even via public transport — helping to build confidence and familiarity with local outdoor spaces.

Anything else to know?
You don’t need to be super fit or outdoorsy to join in. This program is about enjoying nature your way — whether that’s walking, sitting, exploring, or just being outside with others.

🌿 Our Culture at Free Rein Wellbeing & Free Rein Adventure
At Free Rein, our people are the heart of everything we do.
Whether through therapy, recreation, or adventure, we’re united by a shared purpose — to create spaces where people feel safe, seen, and supported to grow.
Our organisational culture is grounded in authentic connection, ethical practice, reflection, and collaboration.
We believe that the quality of our client experiences begins with the quality of our team relationships — built on trust, open communication, and mutual respect.
We operate as a values-driven community, not a hierarchy. Every team member — from counsellors and facilitators to support staff and the maintenance team — is equally valued for the unique skills, insights, and lived experiences they bring.
We approach our work with curiosity rather than judgment, and we model the same principles we encourage in our clients: awareness, empathy, courage, and self-reflection.
Across both Free Rein Wellbeing and Free Rein Adventure, we foster:
• 🌱 Psychological safety — a culture of openness where ideas, feedback, and personal growth are welcomed.
• 🤝 Collaboration over competition — we work as a herd, supporting one another to achieve collective outcomes.
• 🧭 Reflective practice and supervision — encouraging self-awareness and professional development as foundations of ethical work.
• 🧘 Workplace wellbeing — we recognise that caring for others starts with caring for ourselves.
• 🌄 Innovation and creativity — space to design, adapt, and deliver programs that are meaningful, inclusive, and fun.
At Free Rein, we’re more than a workplace — we’re a community of helpers, dreamers, and doers who believe in the power of connection, nature, and purpose to change lives.
