NDIS Day Programs & School Leavers Program Sydney & Melbourne

A Day Program Built Around You

A day program is a structured way to spend your week doing things you enjoy, learning new skills and being part of a group. Our programs mix community outings with skill-building activities, and we plan them around the interests and goals of the people who attend.

Day programs are usually funded from your NDIS plan's Core – Assistance with Social, Economic and Community Participation budget. Some skill-building activities may also be funded from Capacity Building budgets, depending on your plan.

School Leavers Program: Life After School

Finishing school is a big change. Our school leavers program helps young people aged around 17–25 move into adult life with a routine, a social circle and new skills. We work with the young person and their family to set goals and plan a weekly timetable that may include:

building independence at home and in the community, including travel training;
developing friendships and social confidence in a group of peers;
exploring interests, further study, volunteering and work experience;
learning practical skills like cooking, shopping and managing money; and
planning next steps towards work with our finding and keeping a job supports.

Some school leavers are eligible for School Leaver Employment Supports (SLES) through the NDIS, which focus on getting ready for work. Our day program can sit alongside SLES or other employment supports. Ask your planner, local area coordinator or our team about what's in your plan.

Safe, Supportive and Inclusive

Our day programs are delivered by trained, screened support workers with current NDIS Worker Screening clearances. We keep group sizes appropriate to participants' support needs, plan activities with safety in mind, and support people with a wide range of disabilities and communication styles.

We support participants across Greater Sydney – including Bankstown, Parramatta, Liverpool, Blacktown and the St George area – and across Melbourne's south-east, including Dandenong, Frankston, Cranbourne, Pakenham and Berwick. See all Sydney service areas and Victorian service areas.
