Friendship Place. The NDIS Day Program You’ve Been Looking For.
At Friendship Place we build capacity and self-reliance in people with a disability and provide connections to new friendship groups.
About Friendship Place
Tailored Individual Support is just the start…
At Bribie Respite & Support Services we offer tailored individual support and a varied group day program. We offer a supportive, caring and FUN environment through which people can make friends, have new experiences, learn skills and get more out of life.
Carers LOVE our approach…
Our services are dovetailed to build capacity and self-reliance in people with a disability, giving them More Tools and Confidence to look after themselves independently and More Connections and friends within the community.
About Your New NDIS Day Program
We offer a varied program on a weekly basis. At our fully-equipped centre, we offer skills training in…
household skills and self-care, including cooking, food hygiene, travel training, cleaning and laundry as well as practical literacy, maths for money management and IT skills. We also offer art therapy classes.
Let’s get out and about!
We also regularly organise walks in the local environment and to destinations on Bribie Island and the Sunshine Coast, building capacity among participants for self-reliance as well as improving their confidence with everyday activities.
Did Someone Say Fun?
We’re glad you asked…
The program is also designed to help people develop interests and build friendships and so it periodically organises fun trips such as swimming lessons, beach trips, musical theatre, movie nights, bowling, karaoke, overnight camps in recreational cabins and visits to the Sunshine Coast.
Oh wait, there’s more…The Cool Clubs Start here!
Finally, there are regular special interest groups including Girls Club Fridays, Blokes Group and Fishing Club to help people of all ages develop and connect with each other.
Get in touch…
Please contact us for more detail on all NDIS-Funded Community Living Support Services, to discuss your NDIS plan or to find out if you or your family member is eligible to benefit from our services.
Whether or not we can help you ourselves we will be able to offer you advice and refer you to other services that may help.
‘life-changing experience’
Brenda loves it…
“I would say that joining Bribie Respite has been a life-changing experience – not just for Brenda, but for us. It is her special place now. When the bus picks her up at 9.30am she tells us she is off to work! We have more time for ourselves now as well. I would recommend to everyone to give it a try. You’ll be amazed at how life-changing it is.”
“Since Brenda started at Bribie Respite in 2016 her whole life has changed. She is far more confident, especially in terms of life skills, has lots of friends her own age and is now absorbed in a world that is her own. Often when we are out and about on Bribie we are greeted by her friends which is lovely,”
