Our NDIS Social Options are so much more than just activities. Consider them your pathways to forming genuine connections, building your confidence, and feeling like a part of your community.

We support NDIS participants to explore their interests, form new and lasting friendships, and take part in local life in ways that feel comfortable and empowering. What our NDIS Social Options can look like:

🥰Exploring passions: from cooking and art to gardening, swimming, footy games, and more. It's your fun, your way.

😎Building practical independence: including training to navigate public transport with confidence.

✨Flexible support: starting with 1:1 support and transitioning into small groups as your confidence grows.

✔️Supported by our trauma-informed approach: we prioritise emotional safety, consistency, and your individual goals every step of the way.

Indigenous Literacy Day | 2 September 2026
📚 Reading opens doors to future opportunities and choices.
This Indigenous Literacy Day, Opendoor is proud to recognise the importance of First Nations stories, languages, culture and literacy.
This year’s theme, Country Is Our Teacher, celebrates the knowledge, stories and connections to Country that are shared across generations.
The Indigenous Literacy Foundation works alongside remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities to support access to culturally relevant books and resources, while empowering Communities to create and publish their own stories in the languages of their choice.
At Opendoor, we recognise that literacy is about more than learning to read and write. It is about connection, confidence, opportunity and having a voice.
On 2 September, we celebrate the strength of First Nations Communities, the power of storytelling and the importance of ensuring everyone can access and share stories.
🌿 Country Is Our Teacher. Stories connect us. Literacy opens doors.

Let’s show our support for Wear It Purple Day (28 August) 💜

This important day is all about showing LGBTQIA+ young people that they have the right to be proud of who they are. It started right here in Australia in 2010 to raise awareness, celebrate diversity, and create safe, supportive environments for rainbow youth.

By wearing 💜purple💜, we send a clear visual message to young people that they are seen, valued, and respected exactly as they are. It’s a simple reminder that everyone deserves to grow up feeling safe and empowered in their schools, workplaces, and communities.

So grab something purple, start a conversation, and help foster a future built on inclusion and acceptance.

👋 To learn more about the day and how you can get involved, visit the official website: www.wearitpurple.org

As we keep the celebrations rolling for Opendoor’s 40th anniversary, we’re taking a moment to highlight another incredible milestone. Cleanable, our social enterprise, has been creating meaningful employment opportunities and delivering positive social impact across our community for over 20 years. Thank you to all our team members, partners, and clients who have been a part of Cleanable, and continue to support it today.

We're proud to announce that Opendoor is a finalist for the Learn Local Partnership Award at the 2026 Learn Local Awards, for the Women Out Working (WOW) program.

WOW began as a conversation between Opendoor and Glen Park Community Centre about the disparity in Employment Fund expenditure for women, and the need for more meaningful pathways into employment, and grew into something special: a small, supportive program building skills, confidence and real job pathways.

Through our partnership with Hungry 4 Success Café & Catering at Eastland, participants get hands-on hospitality and job-ready experience in a genuine workplace.

Thank you to everyone who helped bring WOW to life.

No two people are the same, and your NDIS plan should be as unique as you are 🤩

We believe support works best when it fits your life, your goals, and your routine – not the other way around. Our blog post breaks down how we tailor support to help you build confidence, connect with your community, and achieve independence on your terms.

How we make support work for you:

👉Starting with a conversation about your individual goals.
👉Matching you with support workers and coordinators who share your interests and communication style.
👉Keeping things flexible and adapting your support as your requirements change.

Whatever your goals are, our NDIS team is here to walk alongside you. Plus, because Opendoor is a registered NDIS provider, you know you can rely on our quality and trusted support. Get in touch with us to get started: https://opendoor.org.au/ndis/

Starting a new job is an ✨exciting✨ milestone, but settling into a new environment and routine can also feel a little overwhelming at times. That is completely normal.

👉Our blog post explores practical ways to look after your wellbeing and build confidence as you transition into a new role. Here are three simple ways to support yourself:

✔️Manage your time and priorities – use to-do lists or planners to focus on what matters most and to help you to avoid overload.

✔️Build healthy routines – focus on small, consistent habits around sleep, movement, and downtime to keep your energy up.

✔️Connect with your peers – take time to build workplace relationships, ask questions, and set realistic expectations as you learn your new role.

Remember, you do not have to navigate new beginnings alone. Opendoor’s Allied Health Wellbeing Support service is here to support your wellbeing at work, including flexible appointments outside of standard business hours.

🔦Congratulations on taking this next step in your career! Prepare yourself with our guide: https://opendoor.org.au/wellbeing-and-work-top-3-tips-for-starting-a-new-job/
