NDIS SUPPORT SERVICES (OVER 18'S)
Lifebridge understands that your NDIS Goals are the things that are important to you and what you want to achieve in your life. Setting goals gets you to places you want to go – it turns your dreams into reality! Learning to set goals for yourself is important right throughout life and it helps you shape your future. Some goals might be big and take time to get there whilst other goals may be small and short term. That is why our Social and Community Participation programs are now in 12- week modules. This allows you to have improved choice over what you do and allows you to try a range of new activities, or you can simply continue with the activities that you have been doing – it’s up to you! Lifebridge is all about delivering services that correspond with what you want to achieve for yourself in the future.
As part of our continuous improvement program, at the end of each 12 week module, we will also gather feedback about how we went, what we could do better, what other activities should we include and if participants are happy with the quality of our service. It’s all about listening to what our customers want to achieve. This feedback helps to improve our programs and improve the services we provide.
LET YOUR GOALS COME TO LIFE
We understand that the NDIS is about you having choices and that the funding in your individual plan needs to be used in a way that links to a goal written in your NDIS plan. Lifebridge is here to support you to meet your NDIS goals including:
Becoming more independent
Improving Health and Fitness
Socializing and making new friends
Job Ready or Volunteering
Learning Something New
Developing communications skills
OUR CURRENT GROUPS
The Lifebridge Social and Community Participation Programs are all about getting out and about, meeting new people and trying new things. The NDIS will fund reasonable and necessary supports in order for a person to pursue their goals and aspirations. Every 12 weeks participants can choose another range of activities or continue with the activities they have been doing – it’s totally their choice.

We will include a summary of supports provided to you; how the support has helped you to work towards your goals, any barriers that you may encountered during the plan period and adjustments made; risk identification and recommendation of additional supports, where required.
