Avenue Newcastle – disability day program – open 2021

Avenue is an innovative day program, empowering people with disability to make meaningful contributions through work activities.

Avenue Newcastle will provide opportunities for participants to join one of our Work teams, and engage in work tasks tailored to their specific skills, abilities and interests.

Avenue Social at Newcastle will give participants the opportunity to take part in community based activities with the support that they need to be able to fully participate.

Avenue is not your typical day program. Both the Work and Social aspects of Avenue Newcastle have been carefully designed to allow for a personalised approach to participation. This ensures each individual and their needs are put first, resulting in a rewarding experience of continued learning and personal growth.
