It's been a busy few months around the centre, so we thought we'd share a quick catch-up on everything that's been happening. We kicked things off with a trip out to the Abbey Medieval Festival - a great day out and a nice change of scenery from our usual PC and board game sessions.

If you've been looking into disability support services, you've probably come across the term NDIS support ratio and wondered what it actually means for your loved one day to day. At Gamely Connect, we run our sessions on a 1:2 support ratio (one support worker to every two participants) and it's a decision we stand behind for reasons that go well beyond keeping the pricing lower for our our participants.

That's exactly why we offer a meet and greet before anyone commits to anything. This post walks you through what our meet and greet actually looks like, so there are no surprises. What Is an NDIS Meet and Greet, and Why Do We Do It? An NDIS meet and greet is essentially a no-pressure first visi

If you've been searching for something a bit different for your young person - or for yourself - you're not alone. Finding the right NDIS support that actually fits who you are can take a while. That's part of why Gamely Connect exists. We're a supported social gaming space based in Caboolture South, and we're one of the only NDIS gaming programs in the Moreton Bay region built specifically around the neurodiverse community.
