Training for Independence Services
Our Training for Independence programmes may be designed to provide therapy, training, education, support and oversight in your home or community, with a focus on restoring your independence and ability to participate in your everyday life events.
The duration of the programme is dependent on your requirements. It may be short term for up to 8 weeks, long term for up to 6 months or longer to provide oversight and monitoring to ensure reasonable function or skills are maintained.

Community Day Services
Community Day Services are focused on an individual’s strengths, needs and goals and you have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of age-appropriate meaningful activities.
Activities
Our Activities are designed to provide assistance and therapies to improve function. The type of activity a person does depends on the condition causing impairment, the bodily function that is affected and the severity of the impairment.
Our cognitive activities help you to relearn or improve skills such as thinking, learning, memory, planning and decision making that may have been lost or affected by your brain injury.
We have activities to help you carry out daily life tasks in your home, workplace and community and also activities that involve exercises to improve or restore your body movements, sensations, strength and balance.
All Activities are provided in the wider community and at our facility on Palmerston Road.
