First Step Solutions & The Date-Ability Project

We work to create a world where people with disabilities are armed with the knowledge, understanding and confidence to make informed decisions.

The Date-Ability Program

The program is developed and delivered by sexologists, psychologists & counsellors in a small group setting.

We cover key topics within the program

Self-awareness & Advocacy

Boundaries & Consent.

Safe & Healthy relationships.

Interpersonal skills and getting to know someone.

Safe online dating, and online safety in general.

Sexual health & wellbeing

We use a variety of games & interactive activities to assist with breaking the ice and supporting engagement.

The program runs across 12 weeks for 2 hours per week, the final week is a social event which includes catering.

Our Financial Literacy 1:1 program is to empower & encourage NDIS recipients to have a better understanding of their bills and map out a method of saving relevant to them.

We discuss and develop strategies to get a better understanding of their spending habits and use tools to positively change them to reach their goals. Examples of barriers could be "impulse spending" Dopamine spending, quick loans frequently & knowing how to say no to others borrowing money.

This is done over 12 weeks on a one-on-one setting with a Counsellor.

The program is completely tailored to each individual person and their goals.
