✦  About the Hub

A welcoming space built around people

Our Ability Hub in North Geelong is a welcoming, creative transitional space where people of all ages and abilities can learn, grow and connect.

It is home to our inclusive group programs for children and adults, the epicentre of our School Holiday Program, the volunteer-run Junior Joeys youth program, and a comfortable space for 1:1 participants to enjoy with our support workers while on shift.

Every experience is designed to help participants build confidence, develop skills and take part in a supportive environment shaped around their interests, communication preferences and individual goals.
