Who we are here for
NDIS Support for Young Adults (18 to 40) in North Brisbane
Social programs, respite and supported living built around young adults with intellectual disability or autism, and the families beside them. One nurse-led team from the first day out to a home of their own.
The week after school ends
The quiet week, filled back up
School gives a young adult a built-in week. There are people to see, a place to be, and a rhythm that carries them through. When it ends, a lot of that quietly falls away. The friends drift, the invitations slow down, and the question of what is on this weekend starts to answer itself with nothing.
That is the gap we were built to fill. Not a service that fills time, but a week worth turning up for: a crew their own age, plans they had a hand in choosing, and a few relationships that stay put. It is a smaller thing to arrange than it sounds, and a big thing to have back.
The pathway
One team, the whole way through
Everything we do sits on one pathway rather than a menu of separate services. Most families meet us for the social side, and over time a social program can grow into a respite weekend, and a respite weekend into a home of their own. The same people are there at each step, so nobody has to start again with strangers when the bigger moments come.
01
Social programs, a crew their own age
Weekend Warriors and social programs. The same faces each week, activities they picked, and a worker who pulls up like a mate. For most young adults, this is where it starts.
02
Short-term respite, the first nights away
A weekend away with the team they already know, so the first nights out of home are spent among friends rather than strangers, and families get a genuine break too.
03
Supported independent living, a place of their own
When the time is right, a home of their own with support shaped around the day. Two of the young men living with us now came up through the programs first.
04
1:1 support, the steady layer underneath
Community access and in-home hours that run under everything else, there for the parts of the week that need a bit more 1:1 attention.
Why 18 to 40
A stretch of life that others tend to overlook
A lot of disability support is built around children, or around older adults with high daily needs. The years in between can fall through the middle. Yet these are exactly the years when a young adult is working out who they are away from their family, and who they want around them.
We built Adventure Support around this stretch on purpose. Our cohort is young adults who are socially capable but under-connected, the ones who can hold their own in a group but have not had the group to hold their own in. Give them the right crew and the change is quick, and it lasts.
The nurse-led difference
Founded by a nurse who notices
Rachel, who founded Adventure Support, trained as a nurse, and that way of paying attention does not switch off on a weekend. It is why a change in mood gets noticed and gently asked about, and why a few health things that had been quietly slipping through finally got picked up. You do not always see it happening. You just notice your son or daughter seems a bit steadier, a bit more themselves.
