It’s your future

The Bridge Connects is your pathway to great learning opportunities, new friends and new skills. We’ll help you find the services that are right for you. We provide services, information and resources to people with disability and their families while helping people to connect with our community and – most importantly – have fun!

Your feedback is important to us.

The feedback you provide through completion of a satisfaction survey assists us to assess how well we are delivering our services, support and program activities. Below are the links to our 2018 surveys: one for family/carers and one for participants. The survey closes on 31 March 2018.

If you or the person you care for currently uses our services please click on the appropriate link to complete the survey. Note: Some of our participants may complete the survey during program delivery so please check with them/service staff to ensure it is not completed twice. Thank you.
