This course has an emphasis on cooking and basic independence skills. Students help

prepare and enjoy healthy meals at each session.

Our groups are delivered on a 1:3 or 1:4 ratio, therefore students will need to demonstrate some self motivation and will need minimal support.

Our experienced tutors encourage age appropriate behaviour and provide ample opportunities for practicing skills.

Students are encouraged to have access to Therapists in their NDIS plan in order to develop base line assessments and some goals toward increasing indpendence.

We have other Independent Living Skills courses also available if Moving Out is a shorter term goal.

Our ILS courses focus on encouraging independence and developing practical skills for

adult life.
