Unleashing Fun and Freedom with Joyful Support

At Joyful Support, our Recreation Support service is all about opening doors to fun, fitness, and social connection for individuals with disabilities. Based on the Gold Coast and serving Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and Northern NSW, we’re passionate about helping you enjoy a wide range of recreational activities tailored to your abilities and interests. Recreation isn’t just a pastime—it’s a pathway to improved health, confidence, and community engagement, and we’re here to make it accessible and enjoyable for you.

Spotlight on Blind Golf: A World of Opportunity

Joyful Support takes pride in being an official World Blind Golf support partner, fully qualified to assist you in both social and competitive blind and low-vision golf. This unique sport offers an incredible opportunity for individuals with vision impairments to experience the thrill of golf with tailored support. Our trained team provides guidance on the course, using techniques like verbal cues, tactile markers, and assistance from sighted guides to ensure safety and success. Whether you’re a beginner eager to learn the basics or an aspiring competitor aiming for tournaments, we cater to all levels. Imagine the satisfaction of perfecting your swing, hearing the ball connect, and enjoying the camaraderie of fellow players—all supported by our NDIS-compliant framework. Each session includes a personalised risk and issues report to address course hazards, a goal tracking report to monitor skills like distance control, and a progress report to celebrate milestones such as completing a round. As a World Blind Golf partner, we’re committed to helping you shine on the fairways, aligning with your individual NDIS plan for maximum impact.

Our Commitment to Excellence

As a fully compliant registered NDIS provider, Joyful Support ensures every recreational session is safe and effective. For activities like surfing or bushwalking, we generate a personalised risk and issues report to tackle concerns such as weather conditions or terrain challenges. A goal tracking report monitors progress, like improving paddleboarding stamina, while a progress report highlights successes, such as your first fishing catch. All this documentation is shared with you, keeping you aligned with your NDIS plan and showcasing tangible outcomes. This structured support means you can focus on the joy of recreation while we handle the details.
