Farm experiences
What we offer:​
​​
1. Individual Farm-Based Support Program
Our Individual Farm-Based Support Program delivers hands-on, capacity-building activities aligned with NDIS supports, focusing on independence, confidence, and meaningful participation.
Animal Engagement & Farm Activities
At the heart of our program is direct interaction with our farm animals, including ponies, goats, chickens, and other friendly companions. Animal-assisted learning is integrated into the program. Learn more about Equine Assisted Learning at Fullerton Cove Farm.
Participants engage in animal-assisted activities that:
-
Promote confidence, responsibility, and personal growth
-
Support social interaction and communication skills
-
Encourage emotional regulation and wellbeing
-
Integrate with practical tasks and structured routines
Participant Facilities – The Dairy House
Activities are based out of The Dairy House, our welcoming day house designed as a simulated independent living environment. Here, participants develop daily living skills tailored to their individual needs.
Activities may include:
-
Learning household tasks, laundry, basic cooking and meal preparation
-
Gardening, craft and creative projects
-
Music, games, active play and social interaction
These skills are reinforced through farm-based tasks and animal engagement, supporting NDIS Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living Skills (15) while fostering social and community participation (09).
​
Supports may be delivered as individual or small-group sessions, depending on participant goals, preferences, and funding.
