Avenue Newcastle – disability day program

Avenue Newcastle is different to your traditional day programs. We empower people with disability to complete meaningful work tasks, socialise and develop individual skills, regardless of their support needs.

Discover more about us at our upcoming Post-School Information Session! If you or someone you know is leaving school in 2023, and looking for a meaningful and purpose-driven day program, then join us on Monday 20 March from 4.30pm.

Avenue Social – a diverse and exciting range of social events and experiences

Through Avenue Social, participants can access events and activities they choose, build important skills and make friends for life! Participants leave feeling more skilled, more equipped, and more empowered than before. 

  • Ever changing
    The Avenue Social calendar is put together with the help of participants. Our support workers get to know them and understand their likes, dislikes and needs to make sure they have a great day.
  • Community-based
    Participants will be out and about in the community enjoying all that it has to offer, regardless of their support needs. Each activity is facilitated by our team of  passionate support workers.
  • Skill development
    Everyone at Avenue has an individual skill development plan. Our support workers are specially trained to spot opportunities to develop participant skills and integrate learning into the day.
