“This page is for adults with mild to moderate learning disability and/or autism who want to get out more and go to events with a volunteer buddy”.
Please read this page and then click button at bottom of the page to join Gig Buddies
As a Gig Buddies participant, you can...
be paired up with a volunteer “gig buddy” and go out together once a month
and
go to social events hosted by the Gig Buddies team (with or without your volunteer)
(getting paired up with a volunteer to go out)
5 Steps to being a Gig Buddy
If you are signed up as a participant or volunteer you can come to our group events
(even if you don’t have a gig buddy)
*Matching you with a buddy can take some time. The Gig Buddies project cannot guarantee participants will be matched with a volunteer
** A signed Service Agreement must be returned to ACL Disability Services before a pairing can be made.
Gig Buddies and the NDIS
The Gig Buddies project charges 3 hours per month** administration charge.
This comes from your NDIS package (Core Support or Capacity Building).

What does NDIS funding go towards?
** the 3 hours per month administration charge is not directly related to the number of hours participants spend with their volunteer buddy
