​

Commitment:

There is no requirement to enrol in a set term period, however for best experience a commitment should be made to attend fortnightly for an agreed period of time. This supports participants to not miss out on instructions for different craft projects and have a chance to complete their projects. It also allows group attendees to feel familiar with each other and more comfortable in the group.

Spaces are limited to 4 or 5 group participants.

​

Payment:

NDIS and private paying clients accepted. Concession available to those without funding.
