NDIThrive is proud to be an accredited ASDAN International training provider. This means the skills your students or participants build with us don't just stay experiences — they lead to genuine, internationally recognised ASDAN certification.

Delivered from our working farm in Pearcedale, every ASDAN program blends hands-on learning — animal care, horticulture, food preparation, life skills and more — with a structured pathway toward real qualifications.

 

For Schools

Looking for a certified, real-world learning pathway for your students on a School Leaver Employment Support (SLES) or vocational track? Our ASDAN program gives students a structured, portfolio-based pathway to nationally recognised certification, delivered one day a week over a 10-week term at our purpose-built farm facilities.

​

What's included:

• A choice of ASDAN Short Courses (Animal Care, Gardening and Horticulture, Environmental Studies, FoodWise, Leadership, Expressive Arts and many more)

• Longer Preparing for Adulthood pathways — including Towards Independence — that can run across multiple terms toward a single certificate

• Individualised learning pathways, portfolio and evidence collection, and progress reporting back to your school

• Purpose-built cooking centre, dedicated bus drop-off, and a working farm environment students genuinely look forward to

 

Our program supports Disability Inclusion goals and funding, IEPs, Student Support Group outcomes, transition planning, careers education and community participation.

For NDIS Participants

Already part of the NDIThrive community, or thinking about joining us? Our ASDAN Short Courses are a great way to build real, certified skills alongside the farm activities you already love.

 

Whether you're interested in animal care, gardening, cooking or building independence and life skills, each Short Course gives you a structured, supported path toward an internationally recognised ASDAN certificate — evidence of what you've learned and achieved, not just attendance.
