Why choose Inclusion Services by the Y’s NDIS holiday programs.

Safe and structured environment

Whether it’s getting creative or trying out new sports, there’s always something to enjoy that’s just right for them.
How these programs can support your NDIS Goals
We have designed our NDIS holiday programs to help children, teens and young adults reach their goals and align with participant’s NDIS plans.
Building independence
A big part of the programs is helping participants become more independent. Children and young adults are encouraged to try out new things through different activities. They get to take on small challenges and build confidence over time. Participants get to learn new skills and make decisions on their own as they get experiences that help them grow and feel more self-sufficient.
Building social connections
The programs also focus on helping participants connect with others. Participants can improve their social skills and make new friends by working together in team activities and having fun with peers.
Reaching personal milestones
Every participant has their own personal goals, and Inclusion Services by the Y’s NDIS Holiday programs help them take steps toward reaching them. Whether it’s learning something new or feeling more confident, these milestones are celebrated and are an important part of their NDIS journey.
