Sometimes wellbeing is as simple as getting outside.

A quiet moment beside the river, fresh air, sunshine and nature all around. 💚

Giving him the time and space to walk along the river rocks, carefully navigating the uneven ground and taking on the challenge at his own pace. 🌿🪨

It’s about supporting independence, not holding someone back. Giving participants the opportunity to try, explore and experience new things, with the right support beside them when needed.

It’s often the simple moments that build confidence, create connection and make a difference to someone’s day. 🙂

Empowering People Through Nature

NEW GROUPS FOR YOUNG NDIS PARTICIPANTS

Ocean & Trail Escapes are excited to announce that we are starting new groups for young NDIS participants who are leaving high school this year!

We understand that leaving school can be a big transition, and we want to help create opportunities for young people to build confidence, make friends, develop independence and explore what comes next — all while working towards their NDIS goals.

We are very flexible and can tailor groups to suit the people involved:
👥 Small groups of 4 with 2 support workers
👥 Groups of up to 6 with 2 support workers
📅 Days of the week will be decided by the group
🌿 Activities will be chosen around the interests, goals and abilities of the participants

So why not get a group of friends together and contact us to have a chat about what you would like to do, experience and achieve?
From community access and nature-based adventures to trying new activities, building life skills, meeting new people and simply having fun — you might be surprised at what we can come up with together!

We want these groups to be about YOU, your goals and what you want your future to look like.

📞 Get in touch with Valerie & Kim at Ocean & Trail Escapes to start the conversation.
Your goals. Your interests. Your adventure.

A little obstacle on the path gave our participant a moment to stop, think and work out her next move.

With encouragement from her support worker, she took her time, considered her options and found a way forward.

It’s not always about how quickly we get there — sometimes the best part of the adventure is figuring it out for ourselves. 💚 🥾

Every outing brings new challenges, new confidence and new adventures.

Ocean & Trail Escapes - Empowering People Through Nature

The NDIS is changing, and many participants may have less funding available for community and social participation. This means every funded support needs to deliver genuine value and help articipants achieve meaningful outcomes.

Social and community participation funding enables people with disability to engage in everyday life beyond their home. It supports activities such as accessing the community, building friendships, developing life skills, improving confidence, participating in group programs, and increasing independence.

As these funding changes take effect, participants and families will need to think carefully about how they use their NDIS funding. For many people, this may mean fewer supported outings, reduced opportunities to participate in community activities, and fewer hours with a support worker.

At Ocean & Trail Escapes, we understand how important it is to make every support count. Our programs are designed to provide real outcomes, not simply fill time. Every outing is planned to support participants in working towards their individual NDIS goals while enjoying meaningful experiences in nature and the community.

Why value for money matters
• Does this activity help me achieve my NDIS goals?
• Am I building independence and confidence?
• Am I developing new skills?
• Am I forming genuine friendships and community connections?
• Am I receiving personalised support that reflects my individual needs?
The best supports create lasting benefits that continue long after the activity has finished.

Why choose Ocean & Trail Escapes?
We intentionally operate small groups, allowing support workers to provide personalised, goal-focusedsupport rather than simply supervising a larger group.
• Build confidence and resilience
• Increase independence
• Develop everyday living skills
• Improve physical health and wellbeing
• Strengthen communication and social skills
• Form meaningful friendships
• Connect with their local community
• Experience the proven benefits of spending time in nature

Every activity is purposeful, engaging and aligned with participants' NDIS goals. More than a day out whether we're cooking damper over a campfire, exploring a National Park, attending a community event or sharing a BBQ by the beach, every experience provides opportunities to learn, grow and connect. Our aim is to ensure participants receive the greatest possible benefit from every hour of their NDIS funding. Because when funding is more limited, every experience should make a meaningful difference.

This week with Ocean & Trail Escapes 🍀

Our focus this week was getting creative with art inspired by nature.

What we love most is seeing our participants enjoy the experience in their own way — whether that’s creating something, sharing a laugh, taking a quiet moment, exploring, or simply enjoying being out and about. And of course, those smiles, laughs and special moments make our day too. 💕😊

Here are a few moments from this week’s adventures. We hope you enjoy them as much as we did!

If you’re looking for something a little different, we welcome new participants to join us for small group outings, 1:1 support, or our weekend day trips — at a pace and level of support that suits you.
