Event Details
Event Description:
Pack your bags and join Life Your Way for an unforgettable Illawarra Adventure Retreat, where stunning coastlines, exciting attractions, and quality time with friends come together for an incredible few days away.
The Illawarra is one of New South Wales’ most beautiful regions, offering everything from spectacular beaches and lush escarpments to charming seaside towns and iconic attractions. Throughout the retreat, we’ll explore the area together, enjoy relaxed meals, discover new places, and create memories that will last long after we return home.
A highlight of the trip will be a visit to Jamberoo Action Park, where those looking for excitement can enjoy thrilling water rides, wave pools and attractions, while others can relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. We’ll also make our way to the famous Kiama Blowhole, where we’ll witness the power of the ocean as water sprays high into the air from one of Australia’s best-known natural landmarks.
Depending on the weather and the group’s interests, we’ll also visit a selection of local attractions, scenic lookouts, beaches, cafés and parks, making every retreat a little different and giving everyone the chance to experience the very best the Illawarra has to offer.

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:
Whether you’re chasing adventure at Jamberoo, watching the ocean crash through the Kiama Blowhole, exploring the coastline, or simply enjoying time away with friends, this retreat is all about building confidence, embracing new experiences, and making lifelong memories together. We can’t wait to share the adventure with you!
