Looking for a day program that will empower you to fully participate in the economy and society?
Avenue Newcastle is different to your traditional disability day program. We empower you to engage in purposeful work tasks and share in the profits, socialise with your team-mates and develop your individual skills, regardless of your support needs.
We provide person-centred support in our hub in Newcastle:
1 Warabrook Boulevard, Warabrook NSW 2304
Join us for our upcoming Open Day on 14 September! Supported by City of Newcastle’s Count Us In event.
When you join Avenue, you can join Avenue Work, Avenue Social or both!
Avenue Work
At the heart of Avenue are work teams where you are empowered to engage in real work tasks in a supported environment, that will increase your knowledge, build your capabilities and provide a sense of purpose.
You can choose from a number of different work teams, based on your interests and goals. These can include order fulfilment, pet-sitting and dog-walking, flyering and letterbox drops, running market stalls and the option to launch your own business as an entrepreneur! You can learn more about our different teams by clicking below.
You will earn a small remuneration from your work activities, which recognises your contribution and productivity to your team, and is yours to spend as you like.
Using your NDIS funding
Avenue is a registered NDIS service provider and you can use a range of NDIS line items to attend, including:
- Core Supports (Social and Community Participation and Daily Living)
- Capacity Building
- Finding and Keeping a Job.
Amanda
“Hi, I’m Amanda, one of Avenue Newcastle’s newest team members! I’ve had a great start to Avenue, joining both the Animals and Markets teams. In my first week, I created signs for our market days (which I’m super proud of), socialised with other team members and contributed towards team tasks. The people around me are nice, and I’m really enjoying my time here.”
Julie
“Avenue helps give me purpose, and is building my self-confidence, social skills and work skills. I love earning my own money, but I am most proud of meeting new people and socialising at Avenue.”
Joel
“Hi, I’m Joel. I was very excited when I started at Avenue Newcastle four months ago and joined Avenue Social and the Animals team. My goal is to build on my social skills and make more friends. I enjoy going to different places and being with people and dogs! What I am most proud of so far, is reaching my remuneration goal and purchasing a spiderman backpack!”
He is gaining so much more confidence since starting at Avenue and the social opportunities provided to him are fantastic. So glad we found Avenue.
The support workers at Avenue go above and beyond, they are so supportive and are changing Nickolas’s life. They have helped with every aspect of his daily routine and learn more independence.
Avenue provides a safe place for him to attend a couple of times a week, learn new skills, meet new people, feel engaged and valued.
