SCHOOL HOLIDAY PROGRAM
Dahlia Homes offer a school holiday program for those that require an inclusive and supported program. We aim to support families whose children are unable to attend mainstream school holiday program and therefore offer an inclusive and supportive environment for those children that need.
The school holiday program is offered to children aged between 5years old and 15 years old and those that have a NDIS plan. We also offer private programs for children that aren’t a NDIS participant on a case-by-case basis and would be more than happy to have a chat about whether this would be suitable for your child.
Dahlia Homes provides a schedule and routine for what will be completed in the program. This will outline what is included and what else will be required for the kids to have a fun and safe day with other children. This varies and is provided each school holidays to the enrolled children.

Dahlia Homes charges in accordance with the NDIS price guide, however we also consider your child’s specific needs and ensure that we are supporting them in accordance with their therapeutic needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the program held?
We hold the program in different locations, and we release the locations to those that are accepted and suitable for the program- however generally it is in a respite house, or our office space has a room that is equipped also for this program. Both of these locations are in north of Canberra however depending on our expression of interest we might have a program in south side also. The address and all the details are provided to those children that have been enrolled and accepted into the program for security reasons we don’t release the address however you can be assured it is a fully equipped house that is suitable for children with additional needs, or our office space is again equipped with the required facilities. We have registered nurses on site or contactable on phone to ensure any medical requirements can be catered for.
Cost of the Program?
We provide individual quotes to each family, as we also assess this on a child requirement basis- therefore if your child needs assistance with food, toileting or anything else we can consider this an ensure they are being supported accordingly. However, we do have a standard ratio that we stick to which is any child over the age of 8 is 1:5 and under 8 is 1:3. This ratio is a very broad and a vague requirement, and it’s hard for us to tell you the cost without knowing the full requirements of your child. We do cap numbers to minimise the large crowds and triggered environment.
