Group Programs
With a wide range of group programs on offer you can explore a variety of activities within a small group program. Our group ratio is 1 staff supporting 3 participants, so while in a group setting, support continues to be focused on individual needs and personal goals. We provide sporting and recreational activities, work skills, personal and living skills, performing arts and much more! Weekly plans are developed by our Group Facilitators in consultation with participants.
- Our programs are tailored to each group taking into consideration the participant’s individual needs, goals and abilities;
- All groups attract an activity fee;
- Groups generally operate for 50 weeks per year;
- Weekday groups (that conclude before 8pm) are charged under Group Activities in a Centre – 1:3 Standard – Weekday Daytime – TTP. This rate is $25.94/hr.
Our groups operate from 3 locations – 100 Jardine St, 259 Denison St and 160 Berserker St.
