About Leisure Links

Leisure Links is a program which offers a range of arts, sport, recreation and leisure activities to teenagers and young adults with a disability.

It allows teenagers to spend time with their peers in age appropriate creative, recreation and leisure activities.

The activities may be provided in an individual format, e.g. swimming, singing lessons, or in a group format. They may take place within the community or as a centre-based activity.

Leisure Links uses mainstream programs, provides a disability specific option, or a mixed approach.

Leisure Links is available to children and young adults with a disability aged 12 to 25 years living in Sydney’s Liverpool, Fairfield or Bankstown local government areas. A limited number of packages are offered and currently all packages have been allocated. Names of interested participants can go onto a waiting list.

When is it Available?

Activities are offered after school hours, on weekends and school holidays.

Cost

The cost of outings and materials range from free to $20, depending on the activity.
