Learn practical workshop skills at Cre8, building real pathways for people with disability to find paid employment

Our Cre8 programs are for people who would like to become more independent and learn practical skills while exploring your creative side and making friends. Cre8 is for people who have core or capacity building in your NDIS Plan. We can support you to achieve goals such as independence or social and capacity building skills.

Work in a small group to make wooden items such as garden beds, picnic tables and chopping boards or design, plan and build something for yourself. Our aim is to provide you with opportunities to learn woodwork skills in a workplace environment.
