Skill Building & Activities

  • Are you looking for a retreat which allows you to unwind and relax?

    Or you may want something a little more adventurous and active?

    Or you may want to add on a Skill Building Package to incorporate some of your personal goal areas. This package allows you to select specific activities you would like to include during your stay with a focus on your individual goals.

    A pre-retreat planning meeting will be organised to make sure your stay, and your activities, is exactly what you are looking for.

  • Your skill building activities will be designed in conjunction with a disability professional (university-qualified Developmental Educator).

    All activities will take into account your goals, your preferences, your disability, your learning style, modifications, and sensory needs.

    Any other requests or specific needs will be accounted for during planning.

    Developmental Educators are qualified professionals who specialise in working with people with disability using a human rights framework to achieve full and effective inclusion and participation in society.

  • We are happy to organise activities and tours that interest you within the Southern Highlands.

    Any additional costs (such as takeaway meals, or entry tickets, are not included in your Core Package).

    Please contact us for a list of places to visit and activities in our area.

  • Examples of structured skill-focused activities might include:

    - Meal Planning

    - Food Preparation and Cooking

    - Physical Activity and Exercise

    - Gardening and Outdoor Tasks

    - Increasing Independence

    - Communication Activities

    - Mindfulness Activities and Connecting to Self

    - Developing and Following Routines (including time management).

    The above options are suggestions only. All activities will be considered in accordance with your NDIS goals and your personal preferences

  • Ngurra Retreat has been inspired by a unique location and wanting to share this with others.

    Ngurra Retreat was created and managed by a disability specialist, someone who practices true person-centred supports to ensure each trip is catering to your individual wishes and your individual needs.
