Our Supports

St Chads is about people having a good life.  From learning life- and work-ready skills to participating in the community and enjoying social interactions, you will find St Chads a special place to pursue your interests. 

If you’re thinking of joining us, our first conversation is about your goals and interests and how you (and those who care about you) would like your life to look like

The key areas we base our programmes on are:

  • daily living skills
  • education and learning
  • communication
  • vocational and work experience/skills
  • recreation, leisure and socialisation
  • exercise and fitness
  • independence and choice.

Our Mission is simple:  Independence, Choice and Participation.  Every member has goals and dreams, and our team weave these individual goals into our programme along with core skills to enable a life with greater independence and choice as well as meaningful participation in every sphere of life.

Why don’t you come and have a look? No matter what you want your life to look like, we provide a variety of individual and group supports to help you reach your potential. We look forward to meeting you and hearing what a good life looks like to you.
