Member Services

Aspire Clubhouse offers innovative, accessible, and engaging online activities designed to support adults on the autism spectrum in achieving their personal and professional goals, all at a relatively reasonable price.


Our programs sit within four key areas, each delivering measurable and meaningful outcomes:


  • Education & Skill-Building
  • Employment & Community Participation
  • Health & Wellbeing
  • Social & Recreational Participation

Why Aspire Clubhouse?


1. Outcome-Driven Programs


Every activity is designed to support tangible outcomes such as increased independence, employability, confidence, and community engagement.


2. Accessible Online Delivery


Members can participate from anywhere in Australia, removing barriers related to travel, sensory overload, or geographic location.


3. A Focused, Support-Aligned Approach


Programs are tailored to support:


  • Core Supports
  • Capacity Building
  • Improved Daily Living

These approaches help ensure that activities meet practical needs and designed to complement existing support plans.

How Aspire Clubhouse Blends Member Goals with Aspirations


1. Participant-Centred Design


Online activities are structured around each member’s interests, strengths, learning preferences, and goals to support engagement and meaningful progress.


2. Flexible and Scalable Delivery


Programs are accessible to people in remote and regional areas, and adaptable to various support requirements and comfort levels.


3. Clear Alignment with Member Goals


Activities align with the goals identified by members, including those listed in formal plans supporting greater independence, social inclusion, confidence, and skill development.



Budget and Pricing


Program Pricing


Members participate in structured online activity sets, designed to support consistency, connection, and skill development over time.

Programs are offered at accessible, low-cost member rates.


This approach supports meaningful engagement while remaining affordable for individuals both with and without NDIS funding.


Invoices and Outcome Tracking


Aspire Clubhouse provides clear invoices and simple outcome tracking to support participation records.


A brief summary of participation and progress is available after completing a set of sessions (typically six or more), at no additional cost.


This standard tracking is designed to:


  • confirm attendance and engagement
  • provide a general overview of progress
  • support straightforward record-keeping for members and, where relevant, NDIS use


Additional Reporting (Optional)


If more detailed or individualised reporting is required (for example, aligned to specific goals or funding requirements), this can be requested for an additional fee.


These reports involve additional preparation and provide a more tailored summary of progress over time.


Recognition of Carer Support


A nominated adult carer or family member may participate for FREE when accompanying a member. This is funded through our social-enterprise model (revenue forgone),  recognising the vital role of carers in enabling meaningful participation.
