What we offer
We offer social and community programs 7 days per week, all with their own focus and purpose. We cover everything from fitness to adventure, capacity building, skill development, healthy habits and unique one off events and experiences.
We are out doing things every day and have attendees provide input into what they would like their days to look like for our future planning. We collaborate with participants to create our days.
Monthly weekend adventures
Each month we set off on a fun group holiday adventure. Sometimes we keep it close to home and stay in the city for sporting events, concerts and exhibitions. While in the warmer months we head for the beach or the hills and get active in nature by surfing, hiking, camping, fishing and exploring.
2022 highlights included a trip to the theme parks on the Gold Coast and catching the State of Origin in Sydney. We hire AirBNB accommodation to create amazing shared experiences away from home.
Event attendance
We regularly attend different sporting, music, social and community events. In the lead up to these events we consult with all our families and participants to ensure accessibility, interest, comfort and fun.
Some of our favourite events have been AFL/AFLW games and finals, Royal Melbourne Show, NRL games, State of Origin, Live gigs, Cinderella stage show, NBL games, the Australian Open, Moomba festival, Rising festival and Market festivals.
Daily Programs
With days of the week dedicated to healthy lifestyle, socialisation, new experiences and nature based activities, we offer an incredibly diverse range of weekly programs. This involves working in small supportive team environments to improve our fitness, make new friends, learn cool cooking skills, challenge our thinking and expand our interests.
Some regular daily programming options are cooking workshops, gym programming, nature walks, group social time, modified sports, markets, mini golf and nearby day trips.
Home base
While we are out and about in the community every day. We also have a fully equipped warehouse style Venue located in Thomastown. This gives us flexibility in inclement weather, a great base to begin our days, a calming and comfortable environment for participants and a communal space to enjoy and socialise in. We start and finish the day in the home-base, and everything in between is out and active.
Weekly Social Group
Along with our daily programs we also offer a mid-week after school social group for our school attendees. This presents a fantastic opportunity for our young participants to meet new faces and engage in some awesome activities such as bowling, movies, swimming, sports and shopping.
At Community Care Collective, every day is an adventure.
We strive everyday to make our participants’ goals a reality. Our diverse and supportive staff are committed to providing a safe, inclusive, challenging and fun space to be in.
