As we come to the end of the school holidays, we’ve been reflecting on what has been a big (and very rewarding!) couple of weeks at NDIThrive.

Our first week kicked off at full pace with over 30 attending each day — the farm was buzzing with energy, laughter, and activity. We loved seeing the genuine connections forming — from gentle animal interactions to hands-on engagement in horticulture, gardening, cooking, and creative arts.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be getting the keys to our new farm in Pearcedale and beginning the transition across. Don’t panic — we’ve planned this carefully and have extended our time to ensure the move is smooth, especially for our beautiful animals. Their wellbeing (and a seamless experience for our clients) is our top priority.

The new location is only around 20 minutes away, and throughout the move we’ll continue operating and welcoming new clients and staff as we grow.

There are some bittersweet moments too. Last week we said goodbye to someone very special to the NDIThrive family — Dylan. Our reptile master, youth worker, and all-round legend has been a huge part of our journey. From sharing his passion for animals to building meaningful connections with participants, Dylan has left a lasting impact on so many. He’s heading off to pursue his career supporting young people — something he has worked hard to study and prepare for. While we’ll miss him greatly, we couldn’t be prouder and wish him every success. Our door is always open if he ever finds his way back down this way.

On a brighter note, we’re excited to welcome Meri to the team. With a wealth of knowledge and a lifetime of experience, we know she will be a fantastic addition and fit right in.

As the colder mornings settle in, stay warm — and remember we’re here for all your support needs. Whether it’s on the farm, in the community, or in-home supports, we’re ready to help.

🌿 Big News — NDIThrive Is Moving to Pearcedale! 🌿

With the incredible growth of NDIThrive and so many wonderful clients joining our community, we knew it was time to create something more permanent — a place where our vision for the future could truly grow.

We’ve always had big dreams for the people we support. Dreams of long-term programs, meaningful opportunities, stability and continuity. To make those dreams possible, we knew we had to take the next step.

💚 So we did. WE BOUGHT A FARM!

From June 2026, NDIThrive will officially call Pearcedale our permanent home.

This beautiful property will allow us to expand everything that has made NDIThrive so special, while building even more opportunities for the people we support and the wider community.

Many people discovered what makes NDIThrive unique during our time in Bangholme — and now we’re excited to bring that same passion, innovation and heart to Pearcedale.

🌱 What’s coming to our new home:

• Expanded farm-based programs including after school and weekend programs
• Employment pathway opportunities for participants
• Dedicated School Leavers Employment Supports (SLES) programs - already running but expanded upon significantly
• Partnerships with local schools to support students transitioning into meaningful adult programs
• A vibrant Art Centre
• Cafe and community shops creating real-life work experience opportunities

We’re already working closely with Peninsula Specialist College, Cranbourne West Secondary College, Peninsula Autism School and so many more local schools to help NDIS school leavers transition into programs that build skills, independence, confidence and real-life experiences.

Being located close to the Pearcedale town centre allows us to remain what we’ve always aimed to be — a central hub of meaningful inclusion where community, creativity and opportunity come together.

✨ We can’t wait to welcome the local community and continue building a place where people can truly learn, grow and thrive.

Join us as we begin this exciting new chapter.

🧚‍♀️NEW OFFERING AT NDITHRIVE FARM 🧚‍♂️

Our Anxiety and Stress Management Workshops are designed to support participants in understanding, managing, and responding to stress and anxiety in a safe, supportive group setting.

Across this program, participants will learn practical tools to recognise stress responses, understand how anxiety shows up in the body, and develop effective strategies to regulate emotions and respond to triggers.

The workshops focus on building self-awareness, emotional regulation, and confidence — both within the sessions and out in the community.

Participants will be supported to:

Recognise stress and anxiety responses in the body

Learn grounding and regulation strategies

Build confidence in managing triggers and stressors

Strengthen communication around needs and boundaries

Develop a sense of internal safety and self-trust

Apply skills in real-world and community settings

The overall goal of the program is to help participants feel safe enough within themselves to create personal safety systems, recognise what safety feels like, and respond effectively when faced with challenging situations.

This program is expected to run for 8–12 weeks, meeting weekly at 4pm on Tuesday's. Reach out if you are interested - STARTS THIS WEEK!

Big day on the farm today 🌱✨

We’re excited to officially welcome Andie, who is beginning her transition across from our sister business, The Living Earth Co., as we move toward closing that chapter. Andie starts immediately, and we are looking forward to seeing her bring the energy, passion and heart she brings to the The Living Earth Co. team to the NDIThrive Farm. We’re so excited for what’s ahead.

We also had some very special news in the Nocturnal Fold — our sugar gliders have welcomed two beautiful babies! Twin girls, lovingly named Honey and Willow 🐾💛

On top of that, we onboarded a last-minute client into our LIFE SKILLS Program, which kicks off tomorrow… and with that, we realised we’ve officially reached 105 client intakes 🎉

For a company that started just 12 months ago, the growth has been nothing short of exponential. We are so incredibly proud of our team and the close-knit community that continues to grow around this place.

Thank you to everyone who has joined the family, discovered the powerful goodness that simply being on the farm can bring, and experienced firsthand that a truly holistic program is unlike anything else out there 🌾💚

See you soon on the farm 🌾
