- Support for Under 18’s
At LiveBetter Bathurst, we offer after-school care, Saturday Kids Group and vacation care for NDIS participants who are aged under 18.
According to LiveBetter Centre-Based Program Coordinator Kate Gillespie, the programs provide a wonderful opportunity for NDIS participants to socialise and learn new skills.
“Many of our customers live remotely, and coming to these programs might be the only time they get to socialise,” says Centre-based coordinator, Kate Gillespie.
“Our groups are small, which means we can focus on each participant, and what they want to achieve. Whether it’s discovering a new recipe, learning to play group sport, or building the skills needed to find work, we support each participant to reach their individual goals”.
Phil Barnden has been working with LiveBetter as a Disability Support Worker for seven years and in that time has seen people achieve things they’d never thought possible. “It’s great to see participants develop and grow. There are people I work with who never used to leave the house, and now they’re getting out, meeting people –they’re going to the footy, they’re going to the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo – they’re living life!”
At LiveBetter we’re here to support you to learn new skills, reach your goals, and make the most of every single day.
