LCA Group Getaways

New places, shared laughs and a weekend to look forward to.

A footy match, a beach visit, a live show or a meal shared after a day out. LCA Group Getaways bring young adults with disability together to enjoy time away, explore new places and share the experience with others.

Our getaways explore destinations across South Australia and Victoria. Each trip has its own itinerary, with activities, local attractions and time to unwind. LCA staff provide the disability support agreed with you before you travel.

Coming along for the first time? Tell us what you enjoy and what helps you feel comfortable. We can talk through the trip, answer your questions and help you decide whether it is a good fit.

Ask about the next getaway

What could your next weekend include?

There is plenty to look forward to, from exploring a new town to settling in for a movie night together. Activities vary with the destination, the group’s interests, accessibility and support arrangements.

Depending on the trip, the itinerary may include:

barbecues
shopping
meal preparation and cooking
sightseeing
horse riding
visiting local attractions
football matches, live shows and escape rooms

kayaking
dining out
movie nights
scavenger hunts
beach visits
other activities chosen for the trip

You choose how you take part. Let us know which activities interest you and whether you prefer a quieter pace. We will discuss what is possible within the itinerary and your agreed support arrangements before you book.

Enjoy the company. Try something new.

A getaway gives you time to get to know others, share an interest and enjoy experiences beyond your usual routine. You might try an activity for the first time, help prepare a meal or choose how to spend your free time.

With the support agreed for your trip, everyday moments can also offer opportunities to:

make choices and practise everyday skills
communicate, spend time with others and build connections
manage spending money and help with shared tasks
become more familiar with new places and routines.

These are opportunities, rather than promised outcomes or a formal training program. If you have a particular goal, talk with us about how your agreed supports could help you work towards it during the trip.

Find a getaway that suits you

Time away, with support planned around you

Enjoy the change of scene knowing that your support arrangements have been discussed in advance. We will talk with you about personal care, overnight support, communication, accessibility and any relevant health or behaviour support needs.

Accommodation, activities and staffing vary between getaways. We will confirm whether the arrangements can meet your needs before accepting a booking. Where family or friends usually support you, a trip may also give them some time to themselves.

Understanding support funding and trip costs

NDIS funding may pay for eligible disability-related assistance you need to take part in activities or manage daily tasks during a getaway. The support must be an NDIS support, relate to your disability and be in line with your plan. Having an NDIS plan does not automatically make a trip or all of its costs claimable.

Holiday accommodation, holiday packages, airfares, food, meals, tickets and ordinary activity fees are personal costs. Accommodation and travel expenses for a support worker accompanying you on holiday are also excluded from NDIS funding. Transport and any eligible disability-related transport support must be discussed separately.

Short-term accommodation funding has a separate purpose: sustaining your usual informal care arrangements through time apart from your primary unpaid supports. It is subject to specific eligibility and plan requirements and cannot be used to pay for a holiday. A Group Getaway must not be assumed to qualify as respite simply because it includes an overnight stay.

We will explain the proposed support charges and personal costs before you decide. If funding is unclear, check with your my NDIS contact or support coordinator before booking. LCA cannot guarantee that an expense will be funded.

Let’s plan a getaway that suits you

Tell us what you enjoy, what you would like to try and what support you need. You can involve a family member, supporter or support coordinator in the conversation.

Before a place is confirmed, we will discuss:

the destination, dates, itinerary and current availability
your interests, communication needs, accessibility and support requirements
relevant health, medication, mealtime and safety requirements
staffing, overnight support and whether assistance is shared or individual
accommodation, transport and activity arrangements
support charges, personal costs, payment and cancellation conditions.

The agreed supports, prices and responsibilities will be set out in your service agreement. We will help you understand the arrangements before you decide whether to join.
