Why Move Through Co Exists
Move Through was created because we saw so many young people falling through the cracks. Enrolled in programs or supports but never feeling like they belong...
They have the funding,
but don't want to use it
Families & young people tell us they're exhausted trialling new NDIS programs that don't understand them & their needs.
They need tailored support not 'standard'
Most existing supports are designed around one size fits all — leaving a huge gap for young people who don't fit neatly into a single category.
They're not making progress, just filling time
Many programs measure success by attendance. We measure it by growth, connection, and independence. We believe in possibilities.
What We Do
From tailored 1:1 therapy supports to dynamic group programs - we find a unique pathway for each young person that helps them build towards their dreams.
Therapies
We believe the clinical 1:1 model doesn't work for many young people, especially if you're neurodivergent or struggling with mental wellness. We build a tailored therapeutic plan for every YP, that might include 1:1 time, connecting with peers, exploring the community & everything in between where needed.
After School
Our after school club is a thoughtful, therapist led program for 12-17 year olds who are in school or online/flexible or home schooling. It runs 4-6pm every Wednesday in school term. Building lasting friendships through social coaching and life-skill building, we've created a safe space for our teens to be truly themselves.
Day Program
Our youth day program is for YP 16 and over. Running 9:30-3:30pm Mon-Fri & led by a dynamic allied health team. Whether the goal is building a routine, finding new friends, cooking healthy meals, exploring your passions or applying for jobs - this program is for you. We offer two streams depeding on the YP's support needs.
"The level of care and support we've recieved at Move Through is unlike anywhere else we've experienced"
Our ethos & style
Our motto is "bringing community back to therapy". We believe as human beings, we can't heal, grow or bloom in isolation. Social connection is transformative.
We believe in the power of friendship, and it's woven into everything we do.Whether you're attending the social day program or your allied health session - we're constantly taking young people out of the shadows are reconnecting them to the world.
We're not here to "fix" our young people, we're here to help them find their own path. We help them build the tools to be themselves & tell the world who they are.
