Explore community activity program
Share in life’s adventure.
Say hello to Explore
Explore is a fully customisable community activity program. It is packed with activities you already love plus plenty of new ones waiting to be tried.
We could hit the salon for a manicure or catch your favourite band live. We could attend a class and learn a new skill or visit a cool cafe. It is completely up to you!
You bring the energy and curiosity, and we will bring the support to make it happen. Because there is always room for one more!

How to pay for Explore
NDIS funding information
Explore can be linked to the following support categories in your NDIS plan:
- Assistance with daily life (core)
- Increased social and community participation (capacity building)
- Improved daily living skills (capacity building)
- Improved learning (capacity building)
Self-funded
You do not have to have government-approved funding packages to access our disability supports and services. Self-funded is a way you can pay for services with your own money.
This gives you the flexibility to access the supports you need if you have a one-off request, or if your government funding package does not cover what you need. You can also self-fund supports while you wait for a funding package to be approved. Sometimes self-funded is called fee-for-service.

Explore is a flexible community activity program that lets you try new hobbies, attend social events, and have fun in your community. You can build your own timetable by mixing regular activities with special interests. It can even work as a disability social group, if you want to make friends or spend time with other people. Come and join the fun.
We think Explore is pretty unique! Some of the things that make it different from other disability day programs and disability social groups are the way it lets you build your own timetable, and the way it offers flexible support options. It is also more than a day program, as you can do activities that happen at nighttime too!
Explore is available to anyone looking for personalised community activities, including NDIS participants and self-funded people. The program is designed for all abilities and is tailored to your interests and goals. It is not exactly a day program, as you can do activities that happen at nighttime too! We like to call it a community program, because it supports you to get out and about in your local community.
Explore is full of all your favourite disability day program activities. Activities include movie clubs, bowling, swimming, bushwalking, café visits, travel training, social clubs, cultural events, classes, and more. Options are flexible and cater to different skills and disability social group preferences. You can also do an activity that is not listed. And you do not have to do things in a group! Support can be provided in flexible ways depending on your needs. You tell us what you want, and we will make it happen.
Yes. You can create a personalised schedule by selecting the activities you love and adding new experiences you’d like to try. Explore is all about giving you choice and control.
Explore can be linked to NDIS support categories such as assistance with daily life (core), increased social and community participation (capacity building), improved daily living skills, and improved learning. Self-funded and fee-for-service options are also available.
