Programs & Activities | Wellness Australia Group

Programs

The emphasis in our inclusive environments is on having a community designed for people living with disability and supporting residents to enjoy an active lifestyle.

Wellness Australia Group provides daily activities that people on NDIS can attend (under capacity building skills or independent living skills or social / community engagement activity). Other members of the community can also participate on a fee-for-service basis.

Three key aspects underpin our communities

1. Integration of disability support, health, wellness and lifestyle programs;

2. Inclusion of the Participant's families, support workers and key health professionals; and

3. Following the Blue Zone principles, based on those few so-called blue zone communities with the highest life expectancies and quality of life in the world, focusing on finding meaning, connection with others and with the environment, healthy diet, exercise, and wellness programs as part of a full lifestyle package.

We integrate disability support with health, wellness and lifestyle activities in a beautiful, inclusive environment for people with disabilities, their families and carers.

Our community living principles are:

Focus on kindness – random acts of kindness are integrated into activities of daily living
Respect for nature
Connection to others – living and working together
Inclusivity and celebrating diversity – communities that actively embraces all abilities
Fun – sport, recreation, creativity and quality of life
Meaning – through personal values, employment and meaningful interaction
