Join us these school holidays!

We have a jam-packed fortnight with bowling, skate parks, a trip on the ferry, karaoke, and more happening during the September school holidays, and we would love for you to join us.

Every day our group will have the option of heading out for an adventure, or spending the day at The Farm to garden, hunt for fossils, play a round of disc golf, or any of the other numerous activities we have here at The Farm.

Some important details to note:

- Support ratios 1:1 - 1:3
- When visiting The Farm, please be sure to wear comfortable, fully enclosed shoes for safety purposes
- Wear clothing you don’t mind getting dirty (some of our activities can get a bit messy!)
- Lunch will be provided unless otherwise noted
- If an activity incurs a cost, participants will be advised upon confirming the support
- Participants who choose not to join off-site activities will be supported at The Farm

Hello! If you've stumbled across this post in your search for supports, you might have just found what you're looking for.

Supporting You Better is a local NDIS support provider based in Largs. We currently have capacity across our day programs, home & community supports, and SIL homes, and would love for you to come and check us out.

Our hub is located on the Hunter River in Largs, at a small family run farm. Participants are supported to utilise our facilities for developing life and social skills, in a safe, inclusive environment.

At The Farm, The Shed is our main gathering place, where participants have access to multiple PCs and gaming consoles (modern and retro), a 3D printer, and a seemingly endless supply of arts/craft materials. Outdoors we have a large trampoline, play equipment, a small disc golf course, gardens, sporting equipment, and plenty of fishing rods to take down to the river.

Our program often ventures out into the wider community for activities like the usual movies and ten-pin bowling, but also to explore our local area and cultural heritage, scavenger hunts, geocaching, orienteering, and much more.

In the coming months we will be partnering with local charitable organisations to raise funds and provide an opportunity for the participants we support to be part of their community, and a chance to develop skills they might transfer to paid employment.

In addition to our day programs, Supporting You Better also also provides:

- SIL, ILO & STA

- 1:1 supports at home and in the community

- Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI) trained staff with experience implementing Comprehensive Behaviour Support Plans including Authorised Restrictive Practices

- Supported employment (coming soon)

If you'd like to learn more about how we can support you, please get in touch:

Recently our Wednesday Group went on a road trip to experience the Baiame Cave near Bulga. The cave depicts Baiame the creator and sky father in the Dreaming of several Aboriginal Australian peoples of the Hunter Valley area including the Wonnarua People whose land we operate on today.

Please follow the link in the comments section for a great resource on the creation story of Baiame.

We followed that amazing experience with lunch at the Bulga Tavern where we played pool and darts. Zahn went down to the river and saved some trapped tadpoles in a drying out puddle.

Zahn built a model rocket over the last couple of weeks at the farm. This morning was launch day. A somewhat successful launch except for the crash landing. Well done Zahn!

Due to increased interest in water activities at the farm, we decided to conduct some Water Rescue activities with our staff during the staff meeting.

Gilbert demonstrated how to throw "Life Rings" and "Throw Bags" that can be used to help save someone drowning or having difficulty swimming back to shore. Then all our staff took turns; we also watched videos on other water rescue techniques. Well done to all the staff who participated!
