FAQ’s and Our Codes of Conduct

We welcome all kids between the ages of 6 and 17!
We have come and try out nights and then if you like what we do, then we welcome you to apply.

We have a duty of care to all of our participants so we must get to know our potential new kids. It is an informal session where we discuss a bit about you and a bit about where we can help you with what you want to get out of the types of activities we run.

Yes, we certainly do! We take pride in providing all our services to both NDIS and non-NDIS
participants inclusively and equally.

participants), or bank transfer. An invoice will be sent to you after the activity.

preferences, dislikes, intolerances/allergies, and any triggers they may have.

procedure ensures that we are well-prepared with the necessary information.

Pricing FAQ’s

At Adventure Based Learning, we recognize the significance of affordability. To cater to this,
we’ve categorized our activities into different levels. Bronze, Silver and Gold. Differentiation
is based on the level of support provided, the nature of the activity, and what is included. If
you would like a price list, feel free to contact us, and we will gladly go over the details with
you.

Gold Class – these are our special activities that are as the name explains, not an everyday but a special
treat event. We offer a door to door transport option that is charged as per NDIS price guidelines, you are welcome to meet us at the venue location if you wish to save this cost.

Silver Class – these are our events where we go into the community and have fun. We always try to make
these events cost effective and try to get discounted / or free tickets when possible to keep the costs
affordable while while having a great time. We will in most cases offer a “fixed price transport” of $10 when
we go out into the community on our sliver class events. The pick up and drop off point to access this
transport will be from Alexandra Hills State Primary School car park.

Bronze Class – these are our community events held at the Alexandra Hills State Primary School hall. We
keep these at a very low cost and make our own fun. Pick up and drop off is at Alexandra Hills State
Primary School hall.

We offer three payment options for all our services: Plan Managed, Self Managed (for NDIS
participants), or bank transfer. An invoice will be sent to you after the activity.
