When do registrations close?

  • Registrations for all programs close 3 days before the program.
  • Registrations for all camps close 10 days before the camp.

However, we do request that you register your loved one as soon as possible. We will do our best to accommodate any late applications, however we can’t guarantee we will still have space if the request is too close to the activity date.

Can I bring my own support worker on a Cahoots activity?

Yes, although they are required to complete Cahoots staff onboarding training, provide us with their NDIS Worker Screening and Working With Children Check and agree to adhere to Cahoots policies and procedures prior to attending the service. This is because Cahoots services are in a group setting and we ensure the safety and support of all participants. The price for camps and programs will remain the same, as this is all inclusive.

Where can I submit feedback and complaints to Cahoots?

At Cahoots we pride ourselves on providing quality services for our participants and families. If you wish to provide feedback or make a complaint about Cahoots services we would love to hear from you. Fill out our Feedback and Complaints Form or view our Grievances Complaints and Disputes Policy.

What if I have been unable to rectify my query with Cahoots or require information on lodging a complaint with the NDIS Quality and Safeguarding Commission?
