Our adult programs are structured around skill development, confidence and community engagement, so participants don't just attend, they make progress. You can join the program that appeals to you, or take part in several over time.

Small, supportive groups with individual goals embedded in shared activities. Choice and pace set by participants; staff facilitate rather than control. Aligned to NDIS goals across social participation, capacity building and wellbeing. Held at the GIFSA Activity Hub and out in the community.
A structured program focused on practical skills for daily life, from cooking to decision-making. You choose what you want to work on, and staff support you to build confidence, independence and control. LifeReady aims at building autonomy, confidence in daily tasks, and skills for independent living.
A creative arts and enterprise program where you can explore art, photography and digital creativity in ways that suit you. Runs year-round during school terms. At Goldfields Creators, you’ll build social confidence, communication, teamwork and creative expression.
A weekly wellbeing program focused on movement, strength and regulation. It's about wellbeing, not fitness, no pressure, no competition, supporting you to understand your body, feel calm and steady, and build confidence. Emotional regulation matters as much as physical health.
Support to build confidence and feel more connected in your community. Together we look at where you feel comfortable, how you want to take part, and what belonging looks like for you. This program aims at building social confidence, stronger connections and a greater sense of belonging.

Progress looks different in every program. Here's what one participant has gained from taking part.
GIFSA's skill-building programs have given Sophie the opportunity to discover new interests and step outside her comfort zone. After a year with GIFSA, she's discovered new activities that she likes and made quite a few friends.
I like that GIFSA listens to what we enjoy and plans activities around our interests. I've had the chance to try lots of new things, find new hobbies and make some great friends along the way.
