What we run

One inclusive space, more ways to join in.

More ways for kids to move, play, and make mates. Book directly, or use an NDIS plan if you have one. Every kid has a place here.

Weekly sessions

Movement-based group sessions at Hybrid 22. The heart of what we do: same faces, same routine, every kid joining in.

School holiday programs

Full and half days every holiday break. Games, group challenges, and play-based movement that keep the day moving.

After-school sessions

Movement and play once the school day wraps, for families who want a regular spot after hours.

Weekend community sessions

Relaxed group sessions for families on the weekend, in gyms, halls, and parks close to home.

Into schools and centres

We come to you. In-school movement sessions and workshops for schools and childcare centres.

Every kid welcome

Every kid fits in here. Book directly, or use an NDIS plan, the same spot in the same group either way.

Some sessions open once we have enough kids to make a group, so get in touch and we'll let you know what's on near you.

About

Built by locals, made for every kid.

The Movement Project is Arlou and Mo, two locals deeply involved in the community. We saw kids with disability missing out on group movement and play, so we built a space where every kid gets to join in, have fun, and make mates.

We run group sessions at Hybrid 22 in Hoppers Crossing, with up to 15 kids and facilitators on hand so every kid is looked after. The gym setting matters. It's a real space, not a clinical room or a noisy school hall. Kids feel like they're somewhere that takes them seriously, in an inclusive, supervised environment built around them.

And kids grow here. A kid who barely joins in week one is leading a game by week eight. A kid who couldn't settle in a group starts asking when the next session is. That's not skill drills or benchmarks. It's confidence, comfort, and a willingness to try, built one session at a time.

Predictable routines

Kids know what to expect each week, which builds trust fast.

Reasonable adjustments

Every kid can take part in their own way. We meet them where they are.

Familiar faces

The same facilitators each time, so trust gets built over time.

Group, not solo

Confidence grows fastest with other kids around.

It's not a competition. It's about giving every kid space to participate, have fun, and walk out a bit braver than when they walked in.

What a session looks like

Same flow, every time.

Routines reduce anxiety. Kids settle in faster when they know what to expect. So we keep the shape of the session the same, even when the activities change.

1. Arrive and settle

Kids come in, quick hello, get set up, ease into the space.

2. Welcome circle

We gather, say hi, and run through what's coming up.

3. Group movement and games

Play-based movement, tailored up or down per kid. Taking turns, joining in, having fun.

4. Wind down and goodbye

Settle the energy, a quick check in with each kid, then home time.

Sessions run about 90 minutes from start to finish.

For families

Every kid welcome.

Come and see if it's a good fit. Book online, or email or DM us to find out more.

For families

Got a support worker? Bring them along.

For most NDIS families, the kid's existing support worker is the one who brings them to the session and picks them up after. The support worker stays during the session, jumps in alongside the kid, and helps with transitions. You get a few hours back at home. We don't bill for the support worker's time, that's managed through your usual support arrangement.

On the NDIS?

NDIS-friendly, simple to sort.

We're an unregistered NDIS provider, and self-managed and plan-managed participants are welcome. Sessions can be billed through the plan, and a support worker is welcome to come along. Plan managers and families, email us for the info pack and we'll talk through how to get started.

For schools and centres

Bring movement to your kids.

We partner with schools, childcare centres, and community organisations to run inclusive group movement sessions and workshops on site. We come to you, with the same play-based approach and the same focus on every kid joining in.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do we need an NDIS plan?

No. Anyone can book holiday programs and sessions directly. If your kid is on the NDIS, we're NDIS-friendly and can bill through the plan instead.

How big are the groups?

Sessions run with up to 15 kids and facilitators on hand, so there's plenty of energy in the room and every kid still gets looked after.

How long is each session?

Around 90 minutes from start to finish, including welcome, activities, and goodbye. We keep the rhythm predictable so kids know what to expect.

How do families get started?

Book online, or email us or DM us on Instagram. We have a quick chat to make sure the group is a good fit for the kid, then book them in.

How does it work for NDIS families?

Most families book and pay directly. NDIS self and plan managed participants can bill through their plan instead, and we sort the details with the plan manager. A support worker is welcome to come along and we don't bill for their time.

What if the kid has a tough day or needs adjustments?

We're set up for that. Our group sizes and the facilitators on hand mean we can take breaks, swap the activity, or use a quieter corner if needed. We keep the family in the loop.

Do you work with schools and childcare centres?

Yes. We come on site to run inclusive movement sessions and workshops. Email us to talk through what would suit your group.

What should kids bring?

Comfortable clothes, runners, a water bottle, and any communication aids or comfort items they normally use. Anything else you'd usually pack for a community outing.

Get in touch

Want to chat?
