A short stay away from home—in a safe and supported environment—has many benefits for NDIS participants and their loved ones. Staying somewhere temporarily can provide you with:

 We offer a range of programs and workshops for participants to take part in. We’ve captured everyday tasks and skills and provide practical supports to help build capacity towards independence and improved everyday living.

OUR VISION was to create progressive workshops that allowed people to continue to develop and grow over a number of weeks through repetition and integration of new skills.

WE BELIEVE each individual deserves the right to an opportunity to develop and have assistance with basic everyday life skills to enable them to live as autonomously as possible. Through education and support we deliver programs and services that assist people in need to live better everyday lives and participate in a just society.

 WE CONSIDER a diverse range of needs and capabilities when developing our programs and support services to ensure we are able to customize and accommodate a wide variety of participants and be as responsive as possible to individual needs.

 Rec and Leisure at Lifeskills cover a broad range of activities in varied locations and are mainly based in the community to increase Participants’ confidence accessing services beyond the La Trobe University campuses. You can choose activities like yoga, Zumba, sports, gym, bowling, swimming or lawn bowls or the leisure activities which features excursions to local parks, restaurants and entertainment. Recreation & Leisure is the perfect way to get out and about and discover all that the community has to offer. 

When working with us at MEC, we can provide many activities for people who are living with disabilities. Not only can activities provide much-needed structure, 

they can also brighten you or loved one’s day. Keeping days active is so important, it will change the outlook of the person who has a disability and the perspective of their families.

We can customise an activity program specific to you or your loved ones needs. Each individual is given all the support and encouragement to try and participate in a range of activities they want to do. This can provide skill development, improve self-confidence and encourage social and community participation. It is important for everyone to feel independent while cultivating a community to experience peer interaction and support, especially for those who don’t feel accepted in their daily lives. 

Whether the person wants to be social or independent, there are plenty of activities and classes that make them happy and improve their life.
