The Personal Support Program is a new initiative that provides a

these barriers and participate more fully within their community.

once a week with Life Activities consultants to take part in a number of
activities and outings such as cooking, trips to the movies, tai chi or once a
month trips to places such as The Australian Reptile Park. There is a minimal
