  • A class, group or hobby

Movement that sticks. The gym, a hit of basketball, a walk by the water, with someone in your corner keeping it consistent.

  • Gym sessions and routines
  • Basketball and team sport
  • Walks, swims, the outdoors

Funded as: 1:1 Core Supports, Social/Recreational Support

Meet Raph, founder

“I’m the person I needed at that age.”

I’m neurodivergent myself. School was hard, connection was harder, and I never had support that got how my brain actually worked. I worked it out the long way.

After five years in the Geelong disability sector as a support worker and coordinator, I started The Raph Project to do support the way I needed it back then: one person who turns up, gets it, and sticks around.

How it works

Getting started is simple

No forms to wrestle with, no hard sell. Three easy steps and we’re under way.

  1. Get in touch

    Call or send us a message, whatever’s easiest. We usually reply within one to two business days.

  2. A free meet and greet

    A relaxed, no-pressure chat, in person or online, to see if we’re the right fit. No obligation either way.

  3. We get started

    We agree what sessions look like and pick a first thing to do together, building from there at your pace.

This might be you…
