The Adventure Team

What The Adventure Team does

The Adventure Team is an NDIS-registered disability support service provider founded in 2019 and headquartered in Gold Coast/Brisbane, Australia. The company delivers a comprehensive suite of disability support services for individuals with permanent and significant disabilities, including support work and mentoring, short-term accommodation and respite, and allied health services (Psychology, Occupational Therapy, Psychosocial Recovery Coaching). It operates specialized programs such as Adulting Academy (life skills curriculum), Tabletopper Labs (psychologist-supervised tabletop RPGs for social skill development), Explorers Club (group activities), Work & Volunteer Program, and the Adventure Card partner network across SE QLD, Northern NSW, Hunter Valley, Sydney, and Melbourne VIC.

The business model is anchored in NDIS-funded recurring service delivery across Core Supports (daily activities, social/community participation, transport), Capacity Building Supports (employment, daily activity, relationships), and Capital Supports categories. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by participant plan. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, relying on a 1800 ADVNTR phone line, website enquiry forms, organic social media (Facebook, Instagram), and word-of-mouth referrals from the disability community. There is no proprietary technology platform; the service delivery model is human-intensive, leveraging a multidisciplinary team with backgrounds in Psychology, Social Work, Education, Sport, and Film & Television.

The organization has no disclosed external funding, is privately held, and operates as a founder-led entity under Director Will Burrage with Jonny O'Connor as General Psychologist and Operations Manager. The core team of six includes administrators and a Program Facilitator, growing from a two-person founding team in 2019 to its current scale. Differentiated offerings center on adventure-based methodology, the Core Living Principles framework, and niche programs like Tabletopper Labs and Adulting Academy that are uncommon within the broader NDIS provider landscape.

Broad incumbents

• Yooralla: Major Victorian disability and NDIS provider offering therapy, accommodation, and community supports. Comparable in allied health and community participation services; differs by larger scale and historical institutional model.
• Life Without Barriers: One of Australia's largest NDIS and out-of-home care providers operating nationally. Comparable NDIS service mix including disability support, respite, and therapy; differs by scale and breadth of program types.
• Northcott: NDIS-registered disability service provider offering allied health, accommodation, and recreation programs across NSW and beyond. Comparable in multi-service NDIS delivery including therapy and community participation.
• Achieve Australia: Sydney-based NDIS disability services provider supporting people with intellectual disability. Comparable in disability support and community participation services with a longer operating history and larger footprint.
• Sunnyfield: Established Australian disability services provider offering accommodation, lifestyle, and community participation supports. Overlaps with The Adventure Team's disability support and community participation offerings but at much greater scale and a more traditional service model.

Direct peers

• Mable: Tech-enabled NDIS platform enabling participants to find and engage independent support workers. Comparable in business model (NDIS-funded disability support) and geographic coverage, but competes with The Adventure Team on technology and self-service capability.
• Home Caring: NDIS-registered provider offering in-home support, allied health, and community participation across multiple Australian cities. Directly comparable in service mix and multi-region delivery model.
• Hireup: Australian NDIS-registered platform connecting participants with disability support workers. Directly comparable as an NDIS support provider using a digital matching layer over a personal-care/mentoring workforce across multiple Australian states.

Others

• Leap in!: NDIS plan management and support coordination service. Adjacent rather than directly competitive; serves the same participant base and could be a referral partner for The Adventure Team's support work and therapy services.

Emerging players

• Outward Bound Australia: Outdoor adventure and experiential learning provider in Australia. Comparable in adventure-based methodology and outdoor programming for young people, though not primarily an NDIS disability provider — useful peer for program design rather than commercial overlap.
