Day programs for adults with disability

Discover Able Australia’s Day Programs for people with disability

Life is better when you can connect with others, try new things, and build skills that help you live more independently. That’s what Able Australia’s day programs in Tasmania and Melbourne are all about. 

A day program is fun centre-based and community-based activities for people with disabilities. Whether you want to learn something new, explore your community, enjoy creative activities, or simply meet people who get you. At Able we’ll be by your side. Every activity is flexible, inclusive, and led by our experienced, supportive staff. We’ll make sure you feel safe, supported, and encouraged to join in at your own pace.

Able has been delivering NDIS day programs for many years, helping people with varying support needs to choose and participate in their favourite activities. We would love to welcome you to a day program in your area! You can build skills for daily life, discover new hobbies, improve your fitness, and connect with your community, and of course have a lot of fun along the way.
