Life Launch is delivered under capacity building in your NDIS plan. Your support coordinator can help confirm funding. Or you can arrange to make a private payment if you do not have adequate or relevant funding.
About Life Launch
Life Launch is Greenacres' 18-week interactive program for people with disability who want to build confidence, learn practical skills and become more independent in everyday life.
Held every Friday in a friendly, supportive and fun environment, Life Launch helps you develop skills you can use at home, in the community and at work. Designed so you can choose to do the whole program or pick up a pillar that you need to build skills on.
Learn new skills. Build confidence. Make connections.
Along the way, you'll have the opportunity to grow your confidence, become more independent, make new friends, connect with your community, explore work and volunteering opportunities, all while working towards your personal goals.
