Joining an NDIS Group on the Sunshine Coast: Is It Right for You?
Updated: 15 hours ago
Finding the right NDIS group program can make a huge difference to confidence, connection, and overall wellbeing.
At Loving Life Support Services, our Sunshine Coast NDIS group programs are designed to be welcoming, purposeful, and genuinely enjoyable, not overwhelming, and definitely not “one-size-fits-all”.
We offer small, supportive groups where participants can build skills, form real connections, and feel comfortable being themselves.
Which Sunshine Coast groups can you join?
Our Sunshine Coast groups currently include:
ThunderBolts A social group for young adults, built around friendship, communication and confidence.
Fun Friday A community access and adventure group, heading out to explore the Sunshine Coast together.
Ladies Lunch A relaxed social group for women, catching up over lunch out in the community.
Men's Group A social group for men 40 and over, with games at the Studio and outings in the community.
Craft Group Creative, hands-on art and craft sessions at the Studio that encourage self-expression, focus and social interaction.
All of our groups run on an ongoing basis, rather than short-term or drop-in sessions. This allows participants to build routine, familiarity, and genuine relationships over time.

Is joining an NDIS group right for you?
Our groups are open to a wide range of participants, and we take the time to match each person with a group where they will feel comfortable and well supported.
Participants who tend to thrive in our groups include those who:
enjoy social connection but prefer smaller, calmer groups
benefit from structure and routine
want to build confidence, independence, and social skills
enjoy creative or hands-on activities
are looking for more than just “something to do”. They want purpose and belonging
While our groups are supportive and inclusive, they may not be the right fit for participants who require highly intensive behavioural support in large or fast-paced group environments. We’re always happy to talk this through and help families find the best option.
Support ratios and purpose
Our Sunshine Coast group programs are typically delivered at a 1:2 support ratio, ensuring participants are well supported while still encouraging independence and peer interaction.
1:1 support can also be provided within group settings where required, depending on individual needs and funding.
Most importantly, our groups are goal-focused. While they’re fun and engaging, every session has a purpose, whether that’s building social skills, confidence, communication, creativity, or everyday independence.
Where do our NDIS Sunshine Coast Social Groups run?
Our group programs operate across the Sunshine Coast, using a mix of:
community-based locations and outings
This flexibility allows us to tailor programs to participants’ interests while helping them build real-world skills in meaningful settings.
A supportive, community-focused approach
We know that joining an NDIS group can feel like a big step both for participants and families alike.
That’s why we take the time to:
understand individual needs and goals
ensure the group is the right fit
create a welcoming, respectful environment where participants feel safe and valued
Our aim is not just participation, but connection, confidence, and enjoyment.
