Our son loves Ignition Gamers and looks forward to it every week. He has the opportunity to socialise and play all of his favourite games in a safe space. Ignition Gamers have been very welcoming from the start and assist with some of our son’s social challenges. Highly recommend!

Build friendships, confidence, and social skills over time
Ignition Gamers is designed for neurodivergent teens and young adults aged 14 to 35 in Canberra. Programs are led by Peer Support Workers with lived experience, in a welcoming community where showing up, however that looks, is always enough.
HOW OUR SESSIONS WORK
Every participant is matched with a dedicated 1:1 Peer Support Worker who’s got lived experience. They’re there for that person individually, helping them practise real social skills in a real group setting.
Sessions are structured around a game and skill of the week, giving participants a shared focus and a natural way to connect with others.
Our sessions are typically funded under the NDIS Support Categories: 01 – Self Management Capacity Building, 04 – Assistance with Social and Community Participation, 04 – Group Activities, 09 – Increased Social and Community, and 10 – Finding and Keeping a Job (Employment Support) – using the relevant support item aligned to each participant’s plan and needs.
We focus on building social skills, confidence, and independence through structured, interest based activities. For participants with employment goals, our sessions also build the skills workplaces look for – communication, collaboration, decision making, and emotional regulation – and we work alongside disability employment providers to support the journey into work. We also offer a limited number of places for private paying clients who are not accessing NDIS funding.
