Every participant has different goals, interests, and support needs, which is why we take a personalised approach to every excursion and holiday activity program.
Our NDIS school holiday support is designed to help participants stay active, connected and engaged during the school holidays. Depending on individual goals and funding arrangements, a support worker can assist participants to access recreational activities, community outings and social experiences in a safe and supportive environment.
Support can be tailored to the individual, whether the goal is to try something new, develop social skills, build confidence away from regular routines or simply enjoy more opportunities to participate in the community during the holidays.
Support doesn’t have to stop when the school holidays finish. Mind & Body Support can also help participants access social, recreational, and community activities on weekends.
Weekend support may include outings to local attractions, sporting activities, community events, cafés, recreational facilities, outdoor activities and other experiences based on the participant’s interests and goals.
School holidays can provide opportunities for children and young people with disability to try new activities, practise social skills, build confidence and participate in the community outside their usual weekly routine.
At Mind & Body Support, activities can be tailored around the participant's interests, support needs and goals rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
Opportunities to explore different activities, places and interests in a supported environment.

At Mind & Body Support, we believe every person deserves support that is tailored to their individual strengths, goals and needs. Our experienced team works with children, teenagers and adults living with a wide range of physical, intellectual, neurological and psychosocial disabilities, adapting our support to help every participant feel confident, capable and included.
We proudly support participants living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, Global Developmental Delay, Intellectual Disability, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s Disease, Acquired Brain Injury (ABI), Spinal Cord Injury, Stroke Recovery, Epilepsy, Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Schizophrenia, and many other disabilities and health conditions. Whatever your goals, we’ll work alongside you to provide personalised, compassionate support that promotes independence, wellbeing, community participation and an improved quality of life.
Our school holiday activities are designed to be flexible and participant-focused. Some participants may enjoy highly social group outings, while others may benefit from smaller, quieter community experiences with additional one-on-one support. We work closely with participants and families to ensure that activities align with personal interests, comfort levels, and goals, creating enjoyable and meaningful experiences during school holidays.
Participating in community excursions and school holiday programs can help participants build social confidence, improve communication skills, increase independence, and strengthen community participation. These activities also encourage physical movement, healthy routines, emotional well-being, and positive social engagement during school holidays. Our goal is to make every outing enjoyable, supportive, and empowering while helping participants feel more confident in everyday community settings.
