It’s easy to get in touch with us. Simply fill out the enquiry form and one of our friendly staff will be in contact with you. Alternatively, you can give us a call Monday to Friday between 9:00am and 5:00pm.

We know choosing the right support is a big decision, and we’re here to help every step of the way.

To start, we invite you, your family and your support network to tour one of our Alkira sites. We’d love to show you around – it’s a chance to see our programs in action, meet our team, and ask any questions you might have.

If you’d like to take the next step, we’ll arrange a face-to-face meeting with one of our experienced managers. They’ll walk you through the assessment and make sure Alkira is the right fit for your family’s goals and needs.

Alkira has its own fleet of buses; transport is available on a fee-for-service basis. Please contact us to find out what transport options are available for your circumstances.

Our services follow the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits. There’s a daily facility fee of $3.30 that isn’t covered by your NDIS plan and will need to be paid directly, this is invoiced at the end of each month. Programs may also have an additional activity fee. All other costs are billed according to your NDIS plan and depend on your individual supports.

We are a group-based service provider at a ratio of 1: 3. We also can provide 1:1 support in a group-based setting or individually.

All support is delivered by our qualified and experienced Alkira staff. Every team member is employed and trained by Alkira, which means you’ll see familiar faces and build trusted relationships with people who understand our programs and values. Around 75% of our staff are permanent — either full-time or part-time — which supports consistency and strong connections. Staff turnover is low, with many team members staying for over 10 years, and our longest-serving staff member having been with Alkira for more than 28 years. This continuity helps create a reliable, supportive environment for the people we support.

We offer day programs from 8:45am to 3pm Monday to Friday. We also offer other fun, group programs after-hours – please look at our Recreation programs for further information.
