Group outings and day options in Adelaide provide opportunities for fun and friendship in safe and supportive settings. Some of the most enjoyable group activities include:

Visiting popular destinations like nature reserves, beaches, museums, and cultural sites allows participants to experience the beauty and history of South Australia. These outings are designed to be inclusive, with accessible transport and facilities ensuring that everyone can take part.

From wheelchair basketball and adaptive swimming to sensory-friendly nature walks, sports and outdoor activities promote physical health while encouraging teamwork and camaraderie. Our disability support services activities are tailored to suit all levels of ability.

Attending concerts, theatre performances, or art exhibitions offers cultural enrichment and creative inspiration. Many venues offer sensory-friendly sessions and wheelchair-accessible seating to ensure an inclusive experience.
