What are the costs?
Nightlife is a fee for service organisation, however in recognition of the limited income people with a disability usually have available to them as well as the constraints generally in place for funding allocations, Nightlife will endeavour to keep the fees charged for services as low as possible.
If a person has financial hardship they can apply to Nightlife committee to have their fee waived or subsidised for a short period.

or
email us and we will respond to your email.
A variety of payment options are available including:
-
Allocating funds to Nightlife from existing DHS support packages (Home First or Support and Choice)
-
Applying for a subsidy
-
Direct payment
Waiting List
From time to time, demand for Nightlife services outstrips capacity. Nightlife believes that in order to deliver a high standard of service and not compromise on quality, there is a need to gradually increase the number of individuals according to ability. Therefore individuals who wish to access the Nightlife service will be placed on a waiting list in the order in which they approached Nightlife. This rule is flexible in cases where Nightlife management determines that a particular request for service is of such a dire and urgent nature that to not provide support immediately would significantly jeopardize the health and well-being of that individual.
