What Group and Centre-Based Activities Covers
The Group and Centre-Based Activities registration group includes the following services. When referring, match the specific service type to the participant's plan goals and funded line items.
Day Programs
Structured programs run from a centre or facility, typically covering life skills, social activities, art, music, cooking, and recreation. Usually operate on weekdays during business hours.
Life Skills Groups
Group-based training in daily living skills such as cooking, budgeting, personal hygiene, public transport use, and household management. Small groups of 3-5 participants with structured curriculum.
Social and Recreation Groups
Group outings, sports, creative activities, and social events. Focus on building social connections and having fun rather than specific skill development.
Health and Wellbeing Programs
Group exercise programs, yoga, swimming, and other physical activities adapted for participants with disability. Good for combining physical health goals with social participation.
Common Referral Scenarios
Real-world situations where you would refer a participant for group and centre-based activities in Glen Waverley.
A participant is finishing school and needs a structured daytime activity while employment options are explored. Refer to a day program that offers employment preparation alongside social activities.
A participant's family needs regular respite and the participant would benefit from social interaction with peers. A group program 2-3 days per week addresses both needs cost-effectively.
A participant with an intellectual disability needs life skills training but does not engage well in 1:1 settings. A small group format with peers at a similar level may be more effective.
What to Expect After Referral
Group programs typically offer a trial period (1-2 weeks) before committing. Good programs conduct an individual assessment, create a personal plan within the group context, and report on individual goal progress rather than just attendance. Check the staff-to-participant ratio, daily schedule, and how they accommodate individual needs within the group.
Red Flags to Watch For
Warning signs that a group and centre-based activities provider may not be delivering quality services.
No individual goal planning within the group program
Same activities every day with no variety or progression
Staff-to-participant ratio too high for the needs of participants
No process for managing challenging behaviours in the group setting
Provider billing at 1:1 rates for group activities
No evidence of participant progress or outcome measurement
How Group and Centre-Based Activities Works with Other Supports
Group Activities works with Transport (getting to the centre), Community Participation (transitioning from centre-based to community-based activities over time), and Employment (some day programs include employment preparation). If a participant is only attending group programs, consider whether community-based 1:1 support might better achieve their inclusion goals.

Referral Tips for Group and Centre-Based Activities
Group programs are cost-effective for building social connections and life skills. Check the staff-to-participant ratio, the program structure, and whether the provider reports individual goal progress (not just attendance). For participants with behavioural support needs, confirm the provider has appropriately trained staff and a behaviour support plan in place.
What to Check Before Making a Referral
Registration Status
Verify the provider holds the correct NDIS registration group for group and centre-based activities. Check the NDIS provider register if uncertain.

Confirm the provider services Glen Waverley and surrounding areas. Some providers listed here cover the broader Eastern Melbourne region.
Availability and Waitlists
Ask about current waitlist times. For urgent referrals, check multiple providers simultaneously to find the fastest availability.
Cultural and Language Needs

Cancellation Policy
Review the provider's short notice cancellation terms. Under the NDIS Price Guide, providers can charge up to 100% for cancellations within 2 business days.
Reporting and Communication
Agree on how the provider will report progress to you. Regular updates make your own progress reports and plan review preparation much easier.
