Welcome to MoveThrough
The NDIS youth-focused day program which is built by young people - for young people. We create unique, individualised programs for every young person - supporting them to grow and learn in a thoughtful and safe social environment. Led by social workers & other allied health staff - MoveThrough is a boutique Sydney-first space which offers social, study, career & wellbeing pathways to young people & families.
Friendships & Community
We meet with & match up all of our young people based off goals, interests, age & personalities. This process is thoughtful & considered so that you can make lasting friendships & feel supported each day you attend. We're not just about ticking boxes, we're about building community.
Life Skills & Wellbeing
We support young people to do life in their own way. We support healthy, balanced lifestyles - working to build:
-
Routines for home and commitments
-
Planning, shopping & preparing healthy meals
-
Travel training & building confidence on public transport and in the community
-
Tackling appointments, life management & building capacity for self adovcacy
Study & Career Pathways
About to leave or have already left school - but not sure what's next? You're not alone. We support young people in planning for the next steps, navigating higher education & preparing to work. We help transition you into your next journey - whether that be resume writing, volunteer experience, support with study load or mentorship.
Physical & Emotional
Our physical & emotional wellbeing is the foundation for a fulfilling life. With on-site qualified therapists, personal trainers & a purpose built gym ... we're leading the charge on making health & wellbeing accessible & fun for young people. Wellness shouldn't feel clinical & we take a fresh, youth-focused approach to health.
We created MoveThrough because we saw so many young people falling through the gaps ...
For all the young people who have tried other programs & never feel like they belong, who feel like their potential was being overlooked, who want to take the next step but feel overwhelmed with where to start - we see you.
We created MoveThrough for young people who want to feel connected, supported, inspired & excited about the future.

FAQ
What are the people like at MoveThrough?
Our community come from all walks of life. All of our young people are in their teens & 20's, and here because they want to build lasting friendships. We cater to low support needs and help to navigate a whole host of different life stages & challenges.
I've tried other programs and they weren't for me, how is this different...?
We hear this all the time, and we like to tell people - you just haven't met us yet. We're unique because we don't have open enrolment. Instead we take the time to get to know each young person & integrate them into a group that will be fun, supportive & suited to their goals.
I get really anxious in social settings - is this program for me?
It's normal to feel anxious in new groups. Almost everyone feels that way at the start. When you arrive on your first day, you'll be greeted by your buddy (one of our team) and they'll be there to support you all day. We also offer lots of support in transitioning. For example, some people might only do a short day on their first week or they might like to come and spend some getting to know us before they come to the program.
How do people get to & from the program?
Some of our young people are dropped off by a parent or support worker. Others attend via public transport (we are 5 mins walk from central station).
If you require support with transport, we can help connect you to a travel provider.
Are you wheelchair accessible?
At this time, the building our studio is located in is not wheelchair accessible.
What are the group sizes?
On any given day, there can be up to ten young people in the studio - but they may be broken up into smaller group activities. We only bring in new people who are suited to the group attending on that day.
When can I enrol?
Fill our the enrolment form & we'll get back to you with in 2 business days. After chatting, we can talk about next steps & helping to integrate into the right day for you.
