About YR SPACE
YR SPACE is an accredited and fully registered National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provider (Provider Number: 443311698) supporting children and young people with disability aged 6 to 18 years since 2001.
YR SPACE delivers structured small-group disability supports designed to promote independence, confidence, social connection, communication, skill development, and meaningful community participation in both centre-based and community-based settings.
Programs are facilitated by suitably qualified and experienced Disability Support Staff who are trained to support participants with a range of health, communication, behaviour support, accessibility, and high-intensity support needs. Staff training includes areas such as anaphylaxis, asthma, epilepsy, enteral feeding, complex bowel care, severe dysphagia management, safeguarding, behaviour support, and participant wellbeing.
The YR SPACE environment includes accessible facilities and supports designed to assist participants with personal care, mobility, communication, and accessibility requirements, including hoists, height-adjustable change tables, visual supports, and communication aids.
YR SPACE is committed to delivering person-centred, goal-based supports in line with participant NDIS goals and current NDIS Practice Standards. Activities and experiences are used to support participant engagement, capacity building, independence, and social development, rather than being the primary purpose of the support.

YR SPACE delivers structured group-based supports across both scheduled program periods throughout the year and weekday afternoon sessions.

Weekday afternoon sessions provide additional opportunities for participants to build social relationships, communication skills, independence, and confidence within a consistent and supportive group environment.
Support ratios and staffing arrangements are tailored to participant support needs. One-to-one support may be available in limited circumstances depending on participant support needs and staffing availability.
