What we run

One inclusive space, more ways to join in.

More ways for kids to move, play, and make mates. Booking is simple and direct, and every kid has a place here.

Saturday sessions

The heart of what we do. Movement-based group sessions on Saturdays: same faces, same routine, every kid joining in.

School holiday programs

Sessions every holiday break. Games, group challenges, and play-based movement that keep the day moving.

Homeschool sessions

Daytime sessions built for homeschool families. On pause for now while our Saturday groups find their feet, so register your interest and you'll hear first.

After-school sessions

Movement and play once the school day wraps, for families who want a regular spot after hours.

Into schools and centres

We come to you. In-school movement sessions and workshops for schools and childcare centres.

Every kid welcome

Every kid fits in here. NDIS or not, it's the same spot in the same group, booked the same way.

Some sessions open once we have enough kids to make a group, so get in touch and we'll let you know what's on near you.

About

Built by locals, made for every kid.

The Movement Project is Arlou and Mo, two locals deeply involved in the community. We saw kids with disability missing out on group movement and play, so we built a space where every kid gets to join in, have fun, and make mates.

We run group sessions in Hoppers Crossing, with up to 15 kids and facilitators on hand so every kid is looked after. Wherever we set up, the space is built around the kids in it: inclusive, supervised, and welcoming, with room to be loud, move freely, and feel like they belong.

And kids grow here. A kid who barely joins in week one is leading a game by week eight. A kid who couldn't settle in a group starts asking when the next session is. That's not skill drills or benchmarks. It's confidence, comfort, and a willingness to try, built one session at a time.

Predictable routines

Kids know what to expect each week, which builds trust fast.

Reasonable adjustments

Every kid can take part in their own way. We meet them where they are.

Familiar faces

The same facilitators each time, so trust gets built over time.

Group, not solo

Confidence grows fastest with other kids around.

It's not a competition. It's about giving every kid space to participate, have fun, and walk out a bit braver than when they walked in.

For homeschool families

A spot for homeschool kids to move and make mates.

Homeschooling gives kids freedom, but regular, active time with other kids can be harder to come by. That's the gap we want to fill. Daytime sessions built around movement, play, and connection in Hoppers Crossing.

Kids arrive, settle into a familiar routine, and spend the session playing games, moving as a group, and getting to know the same faces. No screens, no pressure, no competition. Just a fun, predictable spot where homeschool kids belong to a group.

Homeschool sessions are on pause for now while our Saturday groups get going. In the meantime, homeschool kids are very welcome at Saturdays and holiday programs, and you can register your interest so you're first to know when daytime sessions open up.

Daytime sessions

Sessions that fit around the homeschool week, not after hours.

Same faces each session

Kids build real friendships with the same group and facilitators.

Play, not pressure

Group games and movement, tailored up or down for each kid.

Every kid welcome

Every kid joins in their own way, in a space built around them.

What a session looks like

Same flow, every time.

Routines reduce anxiety. Kids settle in faster when they know what to expect. So we keep the shape of the session the same, even when the activities change.

1. Arrive and settle

Kids come in, quick hello, get set up, ease into the space.

2. Welcome circle

We gather, say hi, and run through what's coming up.

3. Group movement and games

Play-based movement, tailored up or down per kid. Taking turns, joining in, having fun.

4. Wind down and goodbye

Settle the energy, a quick check in with each kid, then home time.

Sessions run about 45 minutes from start to finish.

For families

Every kid welcome.

Come and see if it's a good fit. Book online, or email or DM us to find out more.

For families

Got a support worker? Bring them along.

For plenty of families, the kid's existing support worker is the one who brings them to the session and picks them up after. The support worker stays during the session, jumps in alongside the kid, and helps with transitions. You get some time back at home. We don't charge anything for the support worker's time, that's managed through your usual support arrangement.

On the NDIS?

NDIS-friendly, no paperwork.

Kids on the NDIS are always welcome here, and our sessions are built with them in mind. We keep it simple: every family books and pays directly, so there's nothing to set up before your kid can join in. Support workers are welcome to come along at no extra charge. Got questions about whether it's a good fit? Email us and we'll have a chat.

For schools and centres

Bring movement to your kids.

We partner with schools, childcare centres, and community organisations to run inclusive group movement sessions and workshops on site. We come to you, with the same play-based approach and the same focus on every kid joining in.

Get in touch to talk about what would suit your group.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do we need an NDIS plan?

No. Every family books directly, NDIS or not. Same spot, same group, same simple booking for every kid.

Do you run sessions for homeschool families?

Daytime homeschool sessions are on pause for now while our Saturday groups get going. Homeschool kids are very welcome at Saturdays and holiday programs, and you can email us to register interest so you hear first when they open up.

How big are the groups?

Sessions run with up to 15 kids and facilitators on hand, so there's plenty of energy in the room and every kid still gets looked after.

How long is each session?

Around 45 minutes from start to finish, including welcome, activities, and goodbye. We keep the rhythm predictable so kids know what to expect.

How do families get started?

Book online, or email us or DM us on Instagram. We have a quick chat to make sure the group is a good fit for the kid, then book them in.

How does it work for NDIS families?

The same as everyone else: book and pay directly, and your kid gets the same spot in the same group. We're NDIS-friendly in how we run sessions, and a support worker is welcome to come along at no extra charge.

What if the kid has a tough day or needs adjustments?

We're set up for that. Our group sizes and the facilitators on hand mean we can take breaks, swap the activity, or use a quieter corner if needed. We keep the family in the loop.

Do you work with schools and childcare centres?

Yes. We come on site to run inclusive movement sessions and workshops. Email us to talk through what would suit your group.

What should kids bring?

Comfortable clothes, runners, a water bottle, and any communication aids or comfort items they normally use. Anything else you'd usually pack for a community outing.
