We are Livin Social Adventures! A Disability Support business offering supported activities and adventures for young people (16-35) with mild to moderate disabilities and mental health conditions.

Our primary goal is to help young people build friendships, explore new activities and get the skills they need to live and work independently.

Popular activities include: Bowling, Laser tag, Movies, Gym Fridays, Aquarium and much more!

For any students who have NDIS funding, they are able to claim our support costs through their NDIS plan as long as it's self managed or plan managed. We also offer pick up and drop off for anyone living within 20km of Eltham which we have found to be extremely helpful for busy parents.
