What a lovely afternoon at Social Club! 🧡
Our crew headed out to Risdon Brook Hotel for a relaxed pub lunch, and it was everything we hoped for, good food, great company, and plenty of laughs around the table.

It's these simple moments that mean the most: connecting with familiar faces, meeting someone new, and enjoying an afternoon out in a warm, welcoming environment.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us. If you missed this one, don't worry, Social Club runs every month and we'd love to see you at the next one.

Keep an eye on our page for details on next month's outing 🫶

Community access, my way. 🧡 A game of mini golf, table tennis, a pub meal, op shopping, grocery runs, or just a nice walk with someone who actually gets it. SLR supports me to do the things I want to do, on my terms.

My goals, my pace, my choice.

Community participation isn't just a funding category, it's a coffee catch-up with a friendly face. ☕🧡

Our support workers help participants get out into their community. Whether that's to their favourite local cafe, a gym class, or joining a local book club.

Use your NDIS funding to engage with your community, build confidence, and enjoy activities that enrich your life.

🛒 Building everyday life skills is a key part of developing independence. 🤝

Tasks like shopping, cooking, and cleaning are things many people take for granted, but they play an important role in supporting confidence, routine, and day to day living.

At Southern Light Respite, we support participants to build these skills through both in-home support and respite stays. This allows participants to learn, practice, and grow in environments that feel safe, familiar, and supportive.

This is a core part of capacity building under the NDIS, helping participants develop the skills they need to live more independently and with greater confidence over time.

Our team works alongside each participant, supporting their goals and building skills in a way that feels practical, consistent, and tailored to them.

Finding the right support makes all the difference.

At Southern Light Respite, our support workers are here to do more than assist with everyday tasks. They're here to help you build skills, grow your confidence, and work towards the goals that matter most to you.

Here's what a support worker can help with:

🏠 Household support — help around the home, meals, cleaning, and errands, while building your independence along the way.

🫶 Personal care — assistance with daily hygiene or dressing, tailored to your level of need.

🛒 Daily activities — shopping, transport, medical appointments, and building the confidence to get out and about.

🧡 Community participation — attending social events, local markets, craft groups, and more, so you can stay connected to the people and places you love.

Support looks different for everyone. Who you work with, what you do together, and how often you engage them is shaped by your goals, your needs, and your NDIS plan. You're in control.

As an NDIS registered provider, you can trust that our team meets national standards and that our support workers have completed the required NDIS worker screening checks. That means genuine peace of mind for participants and families alike.

Quality support. Compassionate care. A team you can trust.

💬We know there's a lot of change and uncertainty in the NDIS space at the moment. It's really tough.

If you're unsure how your plan or funding might be affected, or what supports you can still access with your current provider or our team at SLR, we're here to help you navigate this.

Social Club isn't just an outing. 🧡

It's the laughs over a game of mini golf. The conversation that keeps going long after the food is finished. The feeling of belonging somewhere.

At SLR, we run a free monthly Social Club because community doesn't just happen, it's built.

If you or someone you support is looking for a welcoming, low-pressure way to connect with others in Hobart, we'd love to have you along.

Grateful for compassionate care. Real connection. Genuine support.

That's what SLR is built on. 🫶
