Seeking expressions of interest - OC Connections
OC Connections have approached Yarrabah with a plan to expand their short term accommodation service for 15-18 year old's.
The plan at the moment would be to potentially offer short term overnight respite on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings at their accommodation facility.
OC Connections offer a range of services including overnight accommodation and holidays.
OC Connections also offer a range of post school pathway options catering for all abilities and pathway goals and interests.
OC Connections would like to hold a forum in the next week or so for interested families via ZOOM.
If you would like to be a part of the forum, please make contact with Kim or Lindy in the office on 9580 0384 to register your interest.
