Design, Cost, and Run Sustainable NDIS School Holiday Programs.

This quick, numbers-first blueprint is essential for NDIS providers, operations leads, and program coordinators. Master the exact structure, ratios, costing, and risk controls required for compliant, profitable youth/holiday group programs—especially when balancing complex behaviours, transport, and partner venues.

What You'll Achieve

Financial Sustainability: Build a profit model that eliminates "hidden loss" scenarios by correctly accounting for staffing, venue costs, activity spend, and transport splits.
Compliance & Claiming: Confidently set sustainable support ratios (1:1, 1:2, 1:3) and use the right codes (Community Access vs. Skill-Building) to stand up at claim time.
Program Excellence: Structure your day (warm-ups → activity → reflection) to maximize participant engagement and gather robust evidence.
Risk Reduction: Implement clear supervision, risk assessments, and emergency plans to reduce incidents and manage risk effectively.

The Complete Package Includes

An On-Demand Workshop walking through ratios, codes, costing, schedules, and real profit scenarios.
A Step-by-Step Program Framework (including 6-week and daily structures) and a replicable profitability model.
Practical guidance on staffing, transport charging, activity selection, and essential documentation.

FAQs

Do you show how to pick the right ratios if plans don’t spell them out? Yes—there’s a clear process for interpreting funding and activity needs to choose 1:1, 1:2, or 1:3, with worked examples.
Will this help me use skill-building correctly (and avoid art-therapy rejections)? Yes—when and how to use skill-building vs. community access is covered, including why "art therapy" often gets downgraded and how STEM activities tie to goals and reporting.
What NDIS funding category do these programs typically use? The training focuses on Core Supports (Assistance with Daily Life / Social & Community Participation) and Capacity Building Supports (Improved Daily Living / Social & Community Participation), teaching you how to map activities to the correct item codes.
Can we claim participant meals? Generally, no—the course explains why food is typically not claimable and how to plan around it.
Is there a calculator? The workshop demonstrates a ratio & profit model and scenarios you can copy; you’ll see how centre/venue costs, volunteers, and activity spend shift margins.
Does this only work for groups? The framework scales from 1:1 programs to larger groups; you can run multiple small programs in parallel.
