Social Support - Youth
Our Social Support Youth Programs include a fun filled school holiday program and a Saturday Club. Youth Programs are designed for high school students with a NDIS plan and low to moderate support needs.
We regularly attend special events and offer individual support to assist young people to work towards their NDIS goals.

School Holidays
Looking for an exciting way to spend the school holidays?
Our School Holiday Program is packed with fun, adventure and opportunities to connect with others. From meeting animals at Sydney Zoo and visiting the Train Museum to bowling, games and creative days, visiting the driving range or an action-filled Nerf Challenge with Chicko's for lunch, there's something for everyone.
Designed for high school students with an NDIS plan and low to moderate support needs, this program is a great way to get out and about, try new activities and create lasting memories.

Individual Support
Individual Support is great for outings with a Support Worker to pursue your NDIS goals, assist you with exercise and sporting activities, or to attend appointments.
At Interchange Illawarra we are risk aware, not risk averse, say ‘we’ll give it a go’ rather than ‘we can’t’. We’ll always try to link you with Support Workers who share common interests, display initiative and creativity.

Goals
Your NDIS approved goals might include learning a new skill like cooking, increasing your independence or learning how to use the equipment at the gym.
We try to match participants with Support Workers who have similar interests and are enthusiastic about assisting you to reach your goals.

Special Events
We love a special event, and there's always something exciting on the calendar! From the Sydney Royal Easter Show and the magical Enchanted Forest Light Show to the action packed Supanova Comic Con & Gaming Exhibition, we've enjoyed some amazing adventures together.
We're always on the lookout for exciting events that young people will love, giving participants the chance to connect with friends and experience something new.
We love to move!
Staying active and maintaining good health is important for everyone. Regular physical activity can improve strength, mobility, balance, and overall wellbeing, while also supporting mental health, confidence, and independence.
We offer a wide range of activities to help you reach your fitness goals, including group activities and individual support options.
At the heart of a healthy lifestyle is finding activities that are safe and enjoyable. Staying fit can help reduce the risk of chronic health conditions, increase social connection, and promote greater participation in everyday life.
Young Adult Support Options
Our Young Adult Support Options are designed for young people (18 to 25 years of age) with low to moderate support needs.
We can help you try something new, get fit, work towards a personal goal, head out to see live music, exhibitions and events, support you to attend appointments or deal with ‘life admin’.
We can even organise activities with other young people who love the same things you do like going bowling, on outings, or compete in challenges like laser tag.
