2027 Community
Training & Workshops
Learn, connect and build practical skills
Wara Yindi Support Services will deliver a range of small-group training programs and workshops for children, young people, adults, parents and carers throughout 2027. Our programs are practical, inclusive and designed around the needs of regional families. Groups are limited to six participants, allowing facilitators to provide individual support, create a safe learning environment and make reasonable adjustments for different communication, learning and sensory needs.
We welcome participants with different abilities, communication styles, learning needs and sensory preferences.

-
Their goals and reasons for attending

Funding and payment arrangements
