Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions? We’ve answered some of the most common questions families ask about our programs, locations, NDIS funding, support needs, and what to expect when joining a session.
Yes. While Play Tech Australia is not NDIS registered, many families use self-managed or plan-managed NDIS funding where sessions align with the participant’s goals.
Programs are available for autistic and neurodivergent young people aged 9–24, including dedicated young adult programs for ages 18–24.
A formal diagnosis is not always required. Please contact our team to discuss individual circumstances, support needs, and program suitability.
This depends on the participant’s age, confidence, and support requirements. We are happy to discuss what will work best for your family.
Our mentors hold relevant screening checks, training, and experience working with autistic and neurodivergent young people. Sessions are led by supportive, relatable mentors with experience in technology, gaming, education, disability support, and youth engagement.
Participants may take part in gaming, coding, digital design, Dungeons & Dragons, board games, creative activities, social group activities and community-based outings depending on the program.
Play Tech Australia operates across multiple South East Queensland locations, including Mango Hill, Murrumba Downs, Chermside and Springfield Central.
That’s completely okay. Our sessions are designed to be calm, supportive, and participant-led, allowing young people to engage at their own pace and build confidence over time.
Programs are participant-led, meaning young people are encouraged to explore their own interests while being supported by mentors to connect, communicate and engage socially.
No. Participants do not need any advanced skills or experience. The focus is on connection, confidence, creativity and shared interests rather than performance.
Yes. Parents, carers, and support workers are welcome where needed. Please speak with our team so we can understand the participant’s support requirements.

If you are unsure, contact our team and we can help guide you based on the participant’s age, interests, support needs, and confidence level.
