MOVES FOR LIFE PROGRAM
Chess isn't just a board game — it's a framework for life. Every participant who joins Moves for Life is working on something real: focusing for longer, handling frustration, making decisions under pressure, or simply having something to look forward to each week. The chess is the method. The growth is the goal.
Think sharper
Chess builds planning, memory, and problem-solving — skills that carry into everyday life.
Connect genuinely
Every session is a real conversation and a real relationship — not just a tick-box visit.
Build confidence
Winning feels good. So does learning. We celebrate both — because progress is progress.
Feel supported
Our workers don't just show up — they show up prepared, consistent, and genuinely invested in you.
NDIS FUNDING
Good news — this is likely already in your plan
Moves for Life sessions can be funded through your NDIS plan across multiple support categories. Here's how it maps, so you (or your support coordinator) can get things moving quickly.
Capacity building — daily activity
Chess directly builds executive function, focus, and decision-making — all documented skill outcomes we report on after every session.

Daily living support
One-on-one in-home sessions with a support worker who integrates chess into your routine in a way that fits your lifestyle and goals.
