Our NDIS supports in Geelong
Support that's always one-to-one, always funded from your Core Supports, and always at your pace. It comes in three shapes: community access and social participation, sport, fitness and recreation, and life skills and independence.
The activities are the how, not the what. What we actually do is NDIS support work: the practical, hands-on kind, funded from your Core Supports budget. What that looks like on a Tuesday afternoon is up to you.
Community Access & Social Participation
Getting out into the places that make up a life: cafes, markets, events, classes and appointments. We go with you, at your pace, until the places that used to feel hard start to feel like yours.
- Cafes and markets
- Events and classes
- Appointments
- Local groups and hobbies
Funded as: 1:1 Core Supports — Community Access & Social/Recreational Support
What a session might look like
- Saturday morning at the Geelong farmers market. You choose the stalls, Raph hangs back a little, and by the third one you're the one doing the talking.
- There's a games night at the library you've wanted to try for months. Raph comes the first week and sits in. By the third week, he's just meeting you out the front after.
- A doctor's appointment you've been putting off. You write down what you want to ask together, Raph waits with you, and you grab a coffee after so it isn't the whole day.
Sport, Fitness & Recreation
The gym, basketball, a walk by the water, a local club. Movement that sticks because the same person is in your corner every week — for the hard parts, not to run your workout.
- Gym sessions and routines
- Basketball and team sport
- Walking and swimming
- Joining a local club
Funded as: 1:1 Core Supports — Social/Recreational Support
What a session might look like
- You meet Raph at the gym at 10. Your program's written down from last time. He's there for the bits that are hard — walking in, asking if someone's using the bench — not the workout itself.
- Shooting hoops at a local court on a Tuesday afternoon. No drills and no pressure, just a game of H-O-R-S-E and a yarn about the week in between shots.
- You've been thinking about joining a footy or basketball club. Raph comes to the first training, helps you find the coach, and stays on the sideline until you don't need him there.
- A walk along the waterfront, same time each week, at your pace — until it's a routine you'd keep even on a day you'd rather stay in.
Life Skills & Independence
Cooking, shopping, budgeting, getting around on public transport, and the routines that hold it all together. Learned by doing, in real situations, one step at a time.
- Cooking and meal prep
- Shopping and budgeting
- Public transport, one trip at a time
- Routines that hold
Funded as: 1:1 Core Supports — Community Access
What a session might look like
- Picking a recipe on Monday, writing the shopping list together, and cooking it at your place on Thursday. Next time, you write the list. The time after, you do the shop.
- Catching the bus into Geelong for the first time. Raph sits next to you on the first trip, a few seats back on the second, and meets you at the other end on the third.
- Working out what's left of your money for the week, in a way that makes sense to you — before you get to the shops, not after.
What we don't do
We're not a clinical or allied health service. That means no occupational therapy, psychology or behaviour support, and no personal care. It isn't a rotating roster, and it isn't filling in time.
If you need those supports, your support coordinator or Local Area Coordinator can point you to the right provider — and we're happy to work alongside them.
Who these supports suit
Our supports are for neurodivergent teens, young adults and adults who want more confidence, independence and connection, and a steadier routine to hold it together. That might mean feeling calmer in busy places, getting out of the house more, or finding your people.
Especially if traditional supports haven't worked for you. If you've sat through sessions that felt clinical, rushed or like someone was just ticking boxes, you're exactly who we started this for.
This might be you if…
- You've been let down by supports that felt clinical or rushed
- You'd rather learn by doing than by talking about it
- You want someone who gets how your brain works
- You're after more routine, more independence or more people in your life
- You'd like the same person each week, not a new face every fortnight
How it's funded
All of our supports are funded from the Core Supports budget in your NDIS plan, as 1:1 Community Access and Social/Recreational Support. Our rates are in line with current NDIS price limits. The line item depends on when your session happens.
