Connect and Adventures

Connect and Adventures are Carexcell’s services that support neurodiverse people throughout Northern Sydney and Southeast Queensland.

Connect

Connect is a social group service that enables and empowers people of all ages and neurotypes to connect with each other in safe, inclusive, and supportive spaces.

We celebrate diversity in how people communicate, think, and experience the world. At Connect, there’s no pressure to change who you are — instead, we walk alongside you to explore your interests, express yourself authentically, and build meaningful friendships in ways that feel right for you.

Whether you’re looking to meet new people, share experiences, or simply have a space in which you belong, Connect by Carexcell is here to help you feel seen, valued, and connected.

How the social groups work

Connect by Carexcell offers inclusive spaces where you can meet others, share interests, and build friendships in ways that feel natural and safe for you.

Each connect social group:

  • Features facilitated group discussions. Participants can choose to join in or not as they prefer.
  • Participants are encouraged to share their interests and social experiences (with no forced small talk or scripts).
  • We support people stimming, needing movement, or quiet time.
  • Gentle, supported opportunities to explore new activities — at your own pace.

Connection here means being accepted for who you are.

Join at Your Own Pace

There’s no pressure to speak, perform, or participate in any particular way. You choose your level of involvement. Some people like to jump right in, while others prefer to observe and join later — both are completely okay.

Our leaders are there to make sure everyone feels safe, supported, and included.

Building Communication and Connection

Connect by Carexcell supports people to strengthen communication in a way that feels authentic — not forced.

We focus on:

  • Expressing yourself comfortably, whether through words, gestures, writing, or augmented/alternative communication.
  • Understanding others’ communication styles and building confidence in social settings.
  • Celebrating diverse ways of interacting and connecting.

Every activity is designed to enable connection, self-expression, and belonging — without judgement or expectation.

Adventures

Explore, Connect, Experience

Adventures by Carexcell is your launch-pad for new experiences, genuine friendships and meaningful community involvement. Whether you’re looking to join a group, try something bold, or simply hang out in safe and supportive space — we’ve got you.

What You’ll Gain
