Social Clubs
Our Social Clubs provide a regular, welcoming space for neurodivergent children, teens, and young adults to connect with like-minded peers in a supportive environment. These clubs focus on building community through shared interests, without the structure of formal skill-building programs.
Why Choose Our Social Clubs?
For some participants, the goal isn’t about learning new skills, and that’s okay. Our Social Clubs prioritise meaningful connections and creating a sense of belonging. Activities are engaging, fun, and tailored to the unique interests and needs of each group.
Accessibility and Affordability
To make these sessions accessible to as many families as possible, we offer reduced costs and run most clubs fortnightly, making them more affordable for families without NDIS funding and allowing NDIS funding to stretch further.
