Extended Families

Eligibility: Children / young adults (5-30yo) residing in the North East Melbourne area (Yarra, Banyule, Nillumbik, Whittlesea, Darebin, Hume and Moreland). Participants will be put into age appropriate groups on the day.

Activities are suitable for participants who can be supported in a 1:2 ratio. If you require higher support ratio, please phone to discuss your support needs.

Activity cost: Adult $13.30, Concession $10.00, Child $9.30 (includes x1 ride per participant).  Participants without a companion card will need to cover an adult activity cost for a supporting adult ($13.30).

Direct support cost: Extended Families is in the process of transitioning to the NDIS.  We will have two levels of support costs until the NDIS has fully rolled out.

For participants who do not yet have individualised funding (NDIS plan or Individual Support Package ISP), we offer a subsidised rate of $15 per hour for direct support costs.  This is in addition to any activity costs. Note: People on Centrelink benefits who do not yet have individualised funding may talk to us about further possible subsidy.

Support costs for participants with an NDIS plan or ISP will be based on NDIS pricing for ‘Group based community, social and recreational activities - week day’ as indicated below.  NDIS participants will be contacted to arrange a Service Agreement.  Participants with an ISP or no individualised funding will be sent an invoice after the event.
