Event Details
Event Description:
Celebrate the most wonderful time of the year with your Life Your Way community as we head away for a magical Christmas Retreat filled with festive fun, friendship, and unforgettable memories.
Escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy a relaxing weekend surrounded by great company, delicious food, and plenty of Christmas cheer. We’ll spend time together enjoying festive activities, sharing meals, playing games, and embracing everything that makes this season so special.
A highlight of the weekend will be our visit to Carols in The Domain, where we’ll soak up the incredible atmosphere, enjoy live performances, sing along to our favourite Christmas songs, and experience one of Sydney’s most iconic festive traditions under the stars.
Back at our accommodation, there’ll be plenty of opportunities to relax, reflect on the year that’s been, and celebrate the friendships we’ve built together throughout 2026.
Event Details:
- Meet at: 9.00am at The Launchpad Friday
- Return: We’ll be ready for collection at 3.00 pm from The Launchpad Sunday
Client Contribution and Funding Explanation:
-
Our Retreats are designed to provide participants with meaningful opportunities to build independence, develop social connections, and participate in their community through shared experiences. To make our retreats as transparent as possible, here’s how the weekend will operate:
- NDIS Supports – Your NDIS funding will cover the support hours provided by our staff throughout the retreat, along with transport kilometres travelled during the trip where applicable under the current NDIS Pricing Arrangements.
- Accommodation – Accommodation is included in your NDIS cost as part of the STR/STA NDIS framework and pricing strcuture.
- Meals – Participants are responsible for the cost of their own meals throughout the weekend.
- When dining individually or where bills can be easily separated, participants will simply purchase their own meals on the day.
- Where we prepare meals together for sharing at the accommodation, or dine as a group where individual billing isn’t practical, Life Your Way will cover the upfront cost. The total will then be divided equally between participants and invoiced following the conclusion of the retreat.
- NDIS costs do not cover the cost of staff meals, but Life Your Way will cover individual meals purchased by staff; group meal costs will be invoiced with the group cost.
- Spending Money – Participants should also bring additional spending money should they wish to purchase drinks, merchandise, snacks, or other personal items during the weekend.
This approach allows us to keep the retreat running smoothly while ensuring costs are shared fairly and transparently. If you have any questions about how participant contributions or NDIS-funded supports apply to this retreat, our team is always happy to help.
What to Expect:
Christmas is about connection, laughter, and creating memories with the people around us. Whether you’re singing along at Carols in The Domain, sharing stories over dinner, or simply enjoying time away with friends, this retreat is the perfect way to celebrate the festive season with your Life Your Way family.
