How We Work With You
Every young person who comes to us has a different story. Our process is designed to meet them where they are — not where the system expects them to be.
1. Intake Phase (8 weeks)
For: All new participants
Purpose: We start with a free 15-minute call — no forms, no pressure. If we're a good fit, we complete a thorough intake assessment covering your child's educational history, wellbeing, and goals. Most families tell us this is the first time someone actually asked the right questions.
What's Included:
- 2 × 60-minute small group sessions per week (max 5 students)
- 1 × 30-minute individual check-in session per week
- Weekly parent/carer communication
- 8-week functional capacity assessment report
- Pathway recommendation report
NDIS Alignment:
Support Category: CB Daily Activities (15_056_0128_1_3)
Example Goal: “Participant will increase social tolerance from 0 to 60 minutes in structured group setting over 8 weeks”
Pricing:
- Private Pay: $400/month ($100/week)
- NDIS Rate: $180/week (claimable)
What Happens After 8 Weeks?
We provide a comprehensive report recommending which pathway is best for your child's needs and goals.
2. Stability Pathway
For: Young people who need ongoing stability and social connection
Purpose: Prevent isolation, maintain gains, build capacity through interest-based learning
What's Included:
- 2 × 60-minute group sessions per week (interest-based projects)
- 1 × 30-minute individual session per week
- Fortnightly parent/carer communication
- Quarterly progress reports
NDIS Alignment:
Support Category: CB Social & Community Participation (15_038_0128_1_3)
Example Goal: “Participant will maintain social participation in community group 2× per week”
Pricing:
- Private Pay: $400/month ($100/week)
- NDIS Rate: $180/week (claimable)
Who Is This For?
Young people who aren't ready to return to school/TAFE, but need ongoing support to prevent social isolation and maintain functional capacity.
Right for young people who need consistency before they can grow.
3. Bridge Pathway
For: Young people returning to school/TAFE who need ongoing support
Purpose: Supported re-entry with active liaison and relapse prevention
What's Included:
- 1 × 60-minute “Reflect & Regulate” session per week
- School/TAFE liaison and advocacy (as needed)
- Fortnightly parent/carer communication
- Monthly progress reports
NDIS Alignment:
Support Category: CB Relationships (15_039_0128_1_3)
Example Goal: “Participant will successfully generalize regulation skills from Continuum environment to mainstream education setting”
Pricing:
- Private Pay: $250/month
- NDIS Rate: $120/week (claimable)
Why This Matters:
Most young people who return to school without ongoing support experience relapse. The Bridge Pathway provides the safety net they need during this high-risk transition period.
This is where most families start.
4. Independence Pathway
For: Young people transitioning to home education, distance education, or vocational pathways
Purpose: Pathway planning, decision-making support, and transition documentation
What's Included:
- Pathway exploration and decision-making sessions (4-8 weeks)
- Transition documentation and portfolio development
- Administrative support (enrollment, registration, etc.)
- Final progress report and learning profile
NDIS Alignment:
Support Category: CB Improved Life Choices (15_054_0128_1_3)
Example Goal: “Participant will successfully transition from re-engagement program to sustainable educational pathway”
Pricing:
- Private Pay: $600 (one-off)
- NDIS Rate: Claimable under CB Improved Life Choices
What Happens Next?
We help you navigate the transition to your chosen pathway (home education, distance education, TAFE, apprenticeship, etc.) with clear documentation and administrative support.
The goal we're always working toward.
