NDIS Workshops FAQ

Looking to make the most of your Social And Community Participation funding? You're in for a treat! Our activities are all about crafting more than just pretty candles and soaps – they're about weaving a sense of community and engagement that'll warm your heart.

 

The CoHealth Chinese New Year Candle Making Case Study is a glimpse into how our creative experiences are like glue that bonds communities together in celebration!

So, get ready to relax, connect, and create memories. We can't wait to dive into the world of creativity with you! 

 

The Rundown 

We're not registered NDIS providers. That means we can issue you with an invoice if you're managing your own NDIS or getting a helping hand from a plan manager. Give us a shout via email at info@blazeandfoam.com.au to lock in your spot in our classes. If you're managing your NDIS funding yourself, remember to include your NDIS number and the category. We'll then email an invoice to you including these details or directly to your plan manger. 

Minimum Group Size

Got a private NDIS group ready to dive into the creative goodness? Well, for group bookings, you need at least ten folks to get the party started.

Individual Attendees

If you're a lone wolf or rolling with a sidekick – you're welcome to join the public workshops. Just follow the same booking dance we describe below but see the public bookings link.

Location

Mornington Peninsula, – that's where the public workshop magic happens! And if you're keen on a private NDIS workshop held in Melbourne drop us a line (or you prefer to get artsy from the comfort of your own space). We've got virtual workshops up their sleeve.

Plus Ones for Carers

If your carer is there to lend a hand, they're in for free. But if they're ready to get crafty and create their own masterpiece, they'll need their own ticket.

How to Book 

  1. Check if your NDIS plan covers our classes – look out for 'Social & community participation' and 'Capacity building' in your plan.
  2. Browse our workshops, and when you're ready, shoot us an email to info@blazeandfoam.com.au Make sure you let us know about your plan manager, support category, and NDIS participant number. Got a preferred date and time? Share that too. And if there's a support worker in the mix, let us know.
  3. We'll email you you an invoice to send to your plan manager.
  4. Your plan manager works their magic with payment direct to us. Keep in mind, it might take a while, so be patient.
  5. Once the cash lands, you're locked in! Within 48 hours, we'll slot you into your requested class. If you're a bit late to the party or the date's full, we'll  give you some alternatives.
  6. You'll receive a confirmation email with all the details you need before you show up.

Accessibility is Key

Wheelchairs welcome! Our public venues are all about easy access, from wide doors to ground-level workshops. Never stairs. Bathroom door widths might vary. View our accessibility policy.

 

Hold Up for Confirmation

Please wait for the official confirmation email before arriving at the workshop.

Cancellations and Rescheduling

For public workshops email us at least seven (7) days before your workshop date and you can switch things around. This is non-negotiable. For private workshops, we need 14 days notice since venues fees will have been paid. And all bookings are digital, so no paper tickets in the mail.

What to Expect

Blaze & Foam is all about unleashing your creative beast in a friendly space. The workshop hosts are there to guide and inspire. Equipment and materials are provided.

Snacks and Comfort

Feeling peckish? Go ahead and bring your nibbles and sips – we've usually got a fridge. As for attire, it's all about being comfy. Maybe toss on closed-toed shoes, just in case you drop a blob of creativity. An apron will be provided for use on the day.

 

No NDIS for Products: Workshops Only

Hold off on those NDIS-fuelled shopping sprees – it's workshop territory only at Blaze & Foam. No product purchases with NDIS funds here.
