Community Connections
Connect with others, explore your community, and enjoy new experiences through our range of social and community-based activities. From The Shed to Pub Night and Saturday Group, there's something for everyone.
The Shed
The Shed is home to our day programs, offering a range of hands-on activities, skill-building opportunities, and social connections in a supportive and inclusive environment.
Join us on the third Thursday of each month at the Blue Gum Hotel for a meal, a game of pool, and a chance to catch up with friends.
Join us on the first Saturday of every month for a fun day out in the community. Enjoy a variety of activities, explore new places, and connect with friends in a supportive and social environment.

What does the * next to Saturday Group pricing mean?
The advertised price does not include activity-related travel kilometres, which will be charged following the completion of the activity.
Activities are generally priced based on a 1:2 staff-to-participant support ratio. Where a higher level of support is not required on the day, a lower support ratio (such as 1:3) may apply, resulting in a reduced charge.
