How Valley Connections helps you achieve your NDIS goals
-
What will a typical outing look like?
You’ll travel together (coach or accessible vehicle), and enjoy the planned activity — browsing a market stall, hiking a trail, coastal walks, community events and more!
Staff are on hand to assist with mobility, communication, and any personal needs, allowing you to focus on enjoyment and connection.
-
Which new abilities will participants develop?
Engaging with peers and the wider community builds communication and relationship skills. Practising travel planning, ticket purchasing and navigating venues enhances independence in daily‑living skills.
Guided exposure to public settings sharpens judgment and personal safety awareness.
-
How does this align with my NDIS goals?
Our outings directly support the NDIS outcomes of Social & Community Participation, Improved Mental Health, Enhanced Daily Living Skills, and Increased Independence helping you progress toward your plan goals.
-
Who will be there to support me?
Our dedicated team arranges the itinerary, matches you with the appropriate staff‑to‑participant ratio, and provides step‑by‑step guidance throughout the day. Personalised feedback after each trip helps you track skill development and plan future activities.
