At AgapeCare Australia, we are dedicated to empowering participants to take control of their lives by developing the essential skills they need to thrive. Our services are tailored to align with each participant’s unique goals, building confidence, independence, and autonomy. By focusing on what truly matters to each individual, we enable participants to make meaningful decisions and live as independently as possible.
Development Life Skills
Our Development Life Skills include but are not limited to the following:
Meal Planning and Preparation
We provide guidance on planning and preparing nutritious and delicious meals in a hygienic way. This not only builds confidence in the kitchen but also equips participants with the skills to live a healthier and more independent lifestyle.
Travel Training and Road Safety
Navigating public and private transport safely is crucial for independence. We assist participants with journey planning, accessing public transport, and understanding road safety rules. This service aims to help participants feel confident and secure while exploring their community and beyond.
Developing Social Networks and Friendships
Building friendships and expanding social networks can be challenging for participants with disabilities. We support participants in joining social and recreational activities, helping them connect with others who share similar interests and fostering lasting relationships.
Budgeting and Managing Finances
Financial independence starts with understanding budgeting and saving. We help participants manage their finances effectively, from creating savings plans for specific goals—like a holiday or a new phone—to offering practical guidance on handling everyday expenses.
Hobbies and Recreational Activities
Pursuing hobbies is an essential part of enjoying life and building new skills. We support participants in accessing activities such as art, music, and sports, ensuring they feel included and supported throughout. We also assist with transportation and provide on-site support during these activities.
Navigating Government Services
Understanding and accessing government services like the NDIS, education, healthcare, and employment can be complex. Our team provides practical guidance to help participants work through these systems, ensuring they receive the assistance they need with minimal stress.
Understanding Bills, Rent, and Tenancy
For those managing their own homes or planning to transition to independent living, understanding rental agreements, utility bills, and other associated expenses is essential. We provide the necessary support to ensure participants feel confident and in control of their living arrangements.
