Connect, Learn, Grow!

Unlike 1:1 in-home or community support, our day programs offer a vibrant social group environment where you can connect with others, build skills, and enjoy meaningful experiences outside of home or family life.

At Chelsea Social Connections, you’re not just a participant - you’re a vital part of our community.


Why we’re different at Chelsea Social Connections?

At Chelsea Social Connections, we focus on meaningful experiences, independence, and working towards each person’s individual goals.
Every day at Chelsea is centred around our clients’ choice and control, giving them opportunities to thrive and take part in programs that reflect their interests and aspirations.

What makes Chelsea special:

  • A friendly and inclusive environment where everyone is supported to achieve their goals
  • Programs that promote independence, confidence, and community participation
  • A focus on creativity, fun, and personal growth
  • A passionate team that celebrates every achievement, big or small

Janet’s Story – Finding Her Own Beat

Janet has been with Scope since childhood and now attends Chelsea three days a week. A lifelong music lover, she recently discovered adapted percussion instruments with switches that connect to drums, tambourines, triangles, and more.

When she realised she could create the sounds herself, her excitement was contagious. Now she chooses her own instruments in group sessions, feeling empowered, included, and valued.

“Chelsea is such an integral and incredibly supportive part of Hannah’s life. I’m grateful from the bottom of my heart for everyone’s kindness, care, and support.”

“The staff offered my son choices and respected his decisions. It really shows the care they put into every day.”

“I like singing, music, and bowling. Staff always chat to me.”

Brodie

“I love Chelsea because it’s beautiful, and the garden is beautiful too. I enjoy talking to staff.”
