Individual and Group support
Inner Aura Support Services currently provides disability support for participants in home, the community and in group settings. These supports are tailored to your individual needs and interests which support you to achieve goals that are meaningful to you. Some examples of these supports may include attending sporting/ social events, helping you build skills to grow confidence to live as independently as possible, socialising with other people and working towards employment goals.
We offer individual and group support both during the week and on weekends and currently have capacity to take on new referrals.

Group respite for adults and children living with a disability
The Get Away program is tailored for individuals who are wanting to experience respite in a group setting with opportunities to share the experience with others. The respite trips are tailored to ensure your time away from your regular home is fun, helps you to build independent skills, meet new people and try new things. The group respite has a maximum of 4 participants funded at a 1:2 ratio and 2 experienced support workers, We keep our trips small to ensure that they are intimate and maximise social interactions and experiences.
We stay in apartment/holiday house style accommodation so that everyone is under the same roof, we do this so there are more opportunities for making long lasting friendships and to make the most out of the group scenarios. Pick ups commence on Friday morning and drop offs are on a Monday afternoon.
We currently offer a range of Group respite trips including music events, camping experiences, trips for the nature and water lovers and all female/male trips. We treat this experience as a break for you, Whilst we offer activities every day there is also lots of down time for you to relax, unwind and enjoy the experience.
If you are travelling to Cairns and surrounds to join one of our respite weekends we also offer airport/train station pick ups and can arrange support prior and after the trip. Reach out to us with your requests and we will do our best to accommodate this.
