YOUTH NDIS SUPPORTS

Our mentors work closely with young people to build life skills, improve confidence, develop positive routines, and support emotional well-being. Sessions are personalised to each participant’s goals and may include community access, social connection, daily living skills, or education and employment readiness.

We empower young people to reach their potential through consistent, meaningful mentoring built on trust, understanding, and lived experience.

Through tailored one-on-one mentoring and group-based programs, we assist participants with:

Attending social events, sports, and youth programs

Visiting local attractions, cafes, and community centres

Exploring hobbies and interests (e.g. art, music, fitness)

Volunteering and community contribution opportunities

Developing social skills and friendships

Building confidence to navigate public spaces and transport

Our mentors work closely with each young person to ensure activities are matched to their interests, goals, and support needs. Whether it’s trying something new, reconnecting with culture, or simply building confidence in public settings, YLYS ensures every participant is supported in a way that’s fun, respectful, and youth-driven.

These sessions are tailored to support personal growth, develop life skills, and build positive, lasting connections in a safe and inclusive environment.

Our programs include:

Social and recreational workshops

(e.g. art therapy, team sports, music sessions, games)

Life skills programs

(e.g. cooking, budgeting, hygiene, time management)

Health and wellbeing activities

(e.g. fitness classes, mindfulness, emotional regulation)

Employment and education-focused workshops

(e.g. resume writing, job readiness, career planning)

Cultural and identity-based sessions

(e.g. cultural awareness, community events, storytelling)

Why It Matters

Our programs are more than just activities—they are safe spaces where young people with disabilities can express themselves, feel included, and learn valuable skills alongside peers and supportive mentors. By connecting with others and participating in meaningful group experiences, participants improve social confidence, reduce isolation, and gain a stronger sense of belonging within their community.

Each session is run by experienced mentors who provide positive role modelling, emotional support, and guidance every step of the way.

Our Supported Independent Living (SIL) services are designed for NDIS participants who require regular support with daily tasks while living in a shared or individual living arrangement.

We provide personalised SIL supports that can include:

Assistance with daily living tasks (personal care, cooking, cleaning, etc.)

Support with medication routines and health management

Help with budgeting, shopping, and managing household responsibilities

Building social skills and maintaining safe peer relationships

Mentoring and emotional support from trained youth workers

Support with setting and achieving individual goals

Our SIL environments are safe, youth-focused, and built around each participant’s needs and preferences. Whether a young person is transitioning out of home, care, or into independent living for the first time, YLYS ensures they are supported every step of the way with consistent, compassionate, and qualified staff.

We aim to create a stable home environment where young people can feel empowered, respected, and capable of reaching their full potential.

Our respite services provide young people with a break from their regular routines while giving families and carers the opportunity to rest and recharge. Whether it’s for a weekend, a few days, or during school holidays, we ensure each young person is cared for by experienced, youth-focused staff in a relaxed, engaging setting.

YLYS respite care includes:

24/7 support from qualified staff

Comfortable and youth-friendly accommodation

Daily living assistance (meals, hygiene, routines)

Access to fun and meaningful activities

Community outings and social connection

Emotional and behavioural support where needed

We tailor each respite stay to suit the participant’s individual needs, interests, and goals, helping them feel safe, valued, and empowered while building independence and confidence in a new environment.
