Grace

Ivy has been a participant of the Joyful services since 2019. During that time she has attended camps, Saturday outings, Friday social nights and the Wednesday social group. All the programs are well thought out and I am always amazed at the wonderful things that Joyful has set up for their participants. The staff are attentive, caring and supportive of Ivy’s needs. We feel very grateful to have found the friendship and the care that they provide our daughter with.

Amanda

We would like to say thank you for providing wonderful activities Programs for our son. Patrick has been attending Joyful Programs since 2019. He has enjoyed camping, outing on Saturday and Friday nights dinner out. Recently, he has attended cooking on Tuesday nights and also fortnightly scouting. Staff are patient and caring. His awareness has been improved noticeably. It has been great for Patrick to socialise with friends during attending programs. We often see that Patrick is looking forward to seeing Esther to come for picking him up. Joyful Programs’s Service has been much appreciated and highly recommended.

Thi Tran (Mum)

My son, Joe, has been going out with Joyful for about 5 years and it is, without doubt, his favourite time of the week. The Joyful staff not only care for the kids, but they care about the adults too. The effort joyful puts into finding entertaining programs and into making sure everyone is happy and engaged is exceptional. Joyful is a smaller provider that has developed a friendly, family atmosphere, and Joe has definitely found a second family there.

Joe's Dad

“Joyful is a fantastic NDIS provider for children and teenagers of special needs. My son joined Joyful program when he was a little boy, he grew up in Joyful, he is now a much improved teenager. Joyful provided great support, care and social programs for my son to participate after school, weekend, and during school holiday, supporting his learning and development journey. Thank you Joyful for all the great work and programs.”

Lien Designation

My son has been a participant with Joyful since 2021. Saturday outings are the highlight of his week and weekend camps have given him the opportunity to spend nights away from home. He is very well supported by Joyful staff, who have always taken the time to get to know him and understand his needs. The locations visited and the activities are wonderful and give him so many experiences and friendships that he wouldn't have otherwise. Esther and her team are caring and compassionate, flexible, and focus on fun and positivity. I am so grateful for the care and support that they have given our family when we needed it the most. Thank you.
