Our NDIS day programs run throughout the week and are designed to be flexible and goal-oriented. For example, sessions include baking, art workshops, nature walks, nutrition programs, and community excursions. Because every participant is different, we tailor activities to individual interests rather than running a fixed timetable.

Personalised
Individualised support that fits around your life — whether you need help with daily living, community access, skill-building, or attending activities at the hub. We also offer respite options, which means families and carers can take a break knowing their loved one is in safe, experienced hands. Available as part of your NDIS Core Supports or Capacity Building budget.
Find Out MoreEvery day is a little different, however here's what a regular session looks like for participants attending our day programs.
Participants arrive at the Blacksmiths hub and are greeted by their support workers. We check in on how everyone's going and run through the day's activities together.
This could be a baking class, art session, nutrition workshop, or Level Up skills program — it depends on the day and what participants have chosen. As a result, no two mornings look the same.
Participants enjoy lunch together — sometimes prepared as part of a cooking activity, other times BYO. Above all, it's a relaxed social break where friendships grow.
Afternoons often include beach walks, fishing trips, ten pin bowling, futsal, or creative projects. Alternatively, participants can work on individual goals with their support worker.
We wrap up the day together, tidy our space, and organise transport home. Support workers can assist with pickup if needed, so families don't have to worry about logistics.
