We’re not just logging NDIS hours — we’re building a life your mate can thrive in. The Mates Way is a 12-week accelerator program for 15–35-year-olds with intellectual disabilities, autism, or mild-to-moderate support needs.

Every week blends personalised 1:1 support with group activities, community outings, and goal tracking — so progress isn’t just talked about, it’s visible.

Real progress, not just filled hours.
