Community Living Program

The Community Living Program enables people with a disability to live independently in our community. CLP helps people access the community and services that most of us take for granted. by providing training, social opportunities and day to day support, people with a disability can live in their own home.

Behavioural Intervention

Behavioural Intervention helps solve the problems of challenging behaviour with a view to helping people live well with others and participate in life as fully as they are able. The Behavioural Intervention Team consist of Psychologists, interns, trainers and external consultants such as speech therapists, occupational therapists and physiotherapists.

Host Family Care

Host Family Care provides you with individualised, planned respite or care in a home setting. You can be supported for one night or for long periods of time. Or you can receive support during the day only. The emphasis is on providing the best care for you.

Flexible Support Options

The Gym

Fair Go For Kids

PLEASE DONATE - Help a child get off a waiting list for special equipment or treatment by supporting this unique project. Fair Go For Kids is a donation driven project that purchases equipment, treatment and support for children with a disability and thus reduces the sometimes very long and damaging waiting time for support.

Community Building Partners are those local businesses who have been kind enough to donate their time, products or services to help LeapFrog ability help those in need in Newcastle and the Hunter Valley.
