Camp bookings are paused

Camp bookings are now paused

We have made the decision to pause our camp bookings for now. 

We recognise with so much change in the NDIS space, it is becoming increasingly difficult for some families and plan managers wanting to use their community and social funding which is available.    We are awaiting updates from the NDIS in their operating guidelines and pricing arrangements – and we look forward to gaining further clarity and understanding.

We are also eager to await outcomes for foundational supports as they are developed and any opportunities or grants we can find to support our autistic community to be supported to connect.

Future thoughts for community connection

Something we are also looking at is how we can deliver a smaller, one day style event that mirrors the connection and fun of camp in a location that we could bring our community together on a smaller scale for autistic young people and their families. It may look like an afternoon where we come together in teams for the fun of our scavenger hunt, share a meal and finish with team trivia or another activity. 

We would very much be interested in understanding if you would like to join in such an event which would be based in Brisbane or close by.

Other supports available for our families

We know from talking to a lot of our families there is a lot of confusion around what people can use in their plans and funding to support their young people. 

Carers Gateway also are a support that is funded by the Australian Government to provide support for carers, and may also be an avenue to reach out if you need any of their supports – so please keep this in mind https://www.carergateway.gov.au/
