At Joyful Support, our Activity Support service is at the heart of helping you live a fuller, more independent life by providing hands-on assistance for the activities that matter most to you. As a registered NDIS provider based on the Gold Coast, serving Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and Northern NSW, we specialise in making everyday experiences accessible and enjoyable. This could mean supporting you with outings to local parks, grocery shopping trips where we help navigate aisles and carry items, or even arranging transport to and from sporting events like adaptive swimming sessions. We also assist with social highlights, such as dinner with friends at a cosy restaurant, ensuring you can focus on the fun while we handle the logistics.
The beauty of Activity Support lies in its personalisation—tailored to your unique needs, whether physical, cognitive, or sensory. Imagine joining a recreation group for bowling, attending a music workshop to strum a guitar with adaptive aids, or simply enjoying a coffee catch-up at a café with a companion to facilitate conversations. Our team draws from a wide range of activities to match your interests: from creative pursuits like arts and crafts or photography outings, to community engagements such as library visits, volunteering at events, or even pet care routines at home. We support educational endeavours too, like adult classes or tech tutorials, and wellness activities such as mindfulness walks or gym sessions. For leisure, think day trips to the beach, movie nights, or gaming socials. And for family-oriented fun, we can help with birthday gatherings or family picnics. No matter the activity—be it a quiet gardening session, a lively dance class, or transport to a theatre performance—our goal is to build your confidence and skills step by step.
What sets Joyful Support apart is our unwavering commitment to full NDIS compliance, directly enhancing the safety and effectiveness of every activity. For each session, whether it’s a grocery shop or a sporting outing, we generate a personalised risk and issues report to proactively address concerns like mobility challenges or environmental hazards (e.g., uneven paths during a nature walk). We also provide a goal tracking report to monitor milestones, such as completing a full shopping list independently or attending three social dinners in a month, and a detailed progress report to celebrate achievements like improved social interactions or physical endurance in recreation. All this documentation is handed to you (or your support network) transparently, ensuring you’re always aligned with your individual NDIS plan and can see real, measurable results. This structured approach means you’re not just participating—you’re progressing toward greater autonomy and joy.
