Adult Training Support Services

The Oakleigh Centre Adult Training Support Service (ATSS) provides a wide range of quality, innovative programs for approximately 70 people who have an intellectual disability. To be eligible to apply for services, clients must have a disability, be registered with the Department of Human Services and be over eighteen years of age.

The aim is to provide each client with opportunities to develop, maintain and enhance skills in all areas of his or her life.An individualised approach is used to ensure the needs and preferences or each person are met.

Individual Program Plans are developed on an annual basis in consultation with the client and his or her family or carers. This sets out the goals to be achieved over the next 12 months and helps determine the choice of programs during this time.

T.A.G. – Towards Achieving Goals

The TAG (Towards Achieving Goals) program was established for school leavers through the Futures for Young Adults program. Its aim to provide a variety of programs in a range of environments to continue to enhance and develop the individual's maturing talents and abilities.

Oakleigh Centre ATSS is committed to the recognition of the unique needs of young school leavers and aims to meet the diversity of needs, dreams, ideas and skills of each individual.
