NDIS funded activities with Champion Mentors.

Good question. The answer’s in our name! Our Mentors will be the ones joining you on your activity days, providing support and guidance to ensure you have the best time possible. Think of them as more than just a support worker: they’re friends, role models and advocates who are passionate about helping others in their local community. Our mentors all have the necessary skills and experience to assist the people in their care, respecting your rights, dignity and identity. To find out more about our mentors, you can meet some of them here!

Support is available for NDIS participants who have a reasonable and necessary need for social and community participation activities. Social and recreation support is suitable for people who want to do the things they love, discover new possibilities, and make new friends. To access recreation supports, you need to have it included in your NDIS plan. Champion Mentors offer specialist activities for disabled adults and children, and we are flexible to the needs of our participants.

To get recreational inclusion in your NDIS funding, you need to have a planning meeting with an NDIS representative, where you can discuss your goals, needs, support budgets and preferences. You can also bring a support coordinator, a family member, or a friend to help you with the process. You will be required to provide evidence of your need for Recreation and Leisure Activities, such as a letter from your doctor or a support worker. You will also have to consider the type and level of support you need, the location and frequency of your activities, and the outcomes you want to achieve.

NDIS group activities are organised events, programs, and gatherings that bring together NDIS participants in a group setting. These activities are designed to encourage social interaction, skill development, and the exploration of shared interests among individuals with disabilities.

CB daily activities are a type of support that helps people living with disabilities participate in everyday activities that are meaningful and enjoyable. CB stands for ‘Capacity Building’, which means improving your skills and abilities to live your life your way. Each CB daily activity is NDIS funded and provided by organisations like Champion Mentors, who offer personalised experiences, fun activities, and skill development opportunities for their clients.

Some of the day program activities for adults with disabilities you can do with Champion Mentors are:

There are many indoor activities that are fun, engaging, and suitable for disabled adults. Some of the indoor activities you can try are:

• Adapted sports: These are sports that have been modified to be more accessible and inclusive for people with different abilities. These sports can help you stay active, socialise, and have fun.
• Art classes: Express yourself through painting, drawing, sculpting, and more while picking up valuable art skills along the way. Arts and crafts can help you improve your cognitive function, communication skills, fine motor skills, and self-esteem.
• Learning new skills: These are activities that help you acquire new knowledge or abilities that can enhance your personal or professional life. Some examples of learning new skills are taking an online class, learning a new language, or playing an instrument. Learning new skills can help you boost your confidence, expand your horizons, and achieve your goals.
