Inclusive, Accessible & Person-Centred Care
At Wildwood Animal Therapy Farm, we are committed to creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where individuals can experience meaningful growth, connection, and wellbeing. Through our partnership with Serenity Solutions, we provide NDIS-supported services that combine the therapeutic benefits of nature, animals, and structured activities to support participants on their personal development journey.
Our approach is person-centred, meaning every participant is supported according to their individual goals, abilities, and interests. We believe that true progress happens when individuals feel respected, empowered, and comfortable in their surroundings.
The farm environment offers a calm and welcoming space where participants can engage in purposeful activities that support emotional wellbeing, social development, and independence while enjoying the restorative benefits of nature.
At Wildwood Animal Therapy Farm, our programs are designed to support participants in developing practical life skills while fostering emotional resilience and confidence. By combining structured support with natural experiences, participants are able to learn, grow, and build meaningful connections in a relaxed and supportive setting.
Our NDIS services focus on supporting participants to achieve goals related to:
At Wildwood Animal Therapy Farm, we understand that emotional wellbeing is the foundation of personal growth. Our NDIS programs provide a calm, nurturing environment where participants can experience reduced stress, improved mood, and emotional regulation through hands-on interaction with farm animals and nature. Spending time outdoors, engaging with animals, and participating in structured activities promotes mindfulness, reduces anxiety, and supports mental health. Activities such as feeding alpacas, grooming goats, or gentle farm walks encourage participants to slow down, connect with their surroundings, and develop a sense of calm and self-awareness. Our trained facilitators support participants to recognize and express emotions safely, helping them develop coping strategies and resilience in a positive, low-pressure setting.
Connection and communication are key areas of growth for many participants. At Wildwood Animal Therapy Farm, our programs foster interaction, teamwork, and social engagement in a supportive, inclusive environment. Participants can work together on farm-based tasks, participate in group workshops, or engage in small-animal care activities. These experiences encourage sharing, collaboration, and verbal and non-verbal communication. Whether it’s working as a team to care for animals, assisting in garden projects, or participating in group creative workshops, participants develop confidence in social situations, build friendships, and learn essential interpersonal skills that extend beyond the farm.
Our farm-based programs are carefully designed to support participants in developing practical life skills that enhance independence. Through structured, hands-on activities, participants gain experience in responsibility, problem-solving, and decision-making. Activities such as caring for animals, collecting eggs, gardening, and preparing simple meals help participants develop routine, organisation, and self-sufficiency. Participants learn to complete tasks from start to finish, boosting confidence in their abilities. By engaging in real-life farm experiences, participants gradually build independence and life management skills, preparing them for a more empowered and self-reliant daily life.
Every task at Wildwood Animal Therapy Farm is an opportunity to celebrate achievements and build confidence. Participants experience success through meaningful, tangible outcomes, whether it’s grooming an animal, completing a garden project, or preparing a farm-fresh meal. Our programs are tailored to each individual’s pace and ability, allowing participants to overcome challenges, develop new skills, and feel a genuine sense of accomplishment. These positive experiences contribute to higher self-esteem, increased motivation, and a stronger sense of identity. By fostering personal growth in a supportive environment, participants leave the farm feeling empowered and capable.
At Wildwood Animal Therapy Farm, we take a holistic approach to personal development, addressing the mind, body, and spirit. Our programs integrate therapeutic activities, creative workshops, and nature-based experiences to support overall wellbeing. Participants engage in physical activity, develop practical skills, enhance emotional intelligence, and explore creative expression—all within a safe and inclusive environment. This comprehensive approach helps participants build resilience, foster independence, and develop meaningful connections, creating lasting benefits that extend beyond the farm. Our goal is to empower participants to thrive in all aspects of their lives, cultivating growth that is both sustainable and enjoyable.
This is an outdoor program, so participants should come prepared for a fun, enriching, and sometimes messy day on the farm.
