Our Programs

Communication is the sending and receiving of information through symbols, signs or behaviour. Good communication is vital for friendship to thrive increasing our sense of purpose and belonging to provide happiness and reduced stress.

The most used communication form is a combination of verbal and non-verbal expressive communication but not everyone is able to communicate in this way and rely on non-verbal techniques using sign, symbols, and expression.

Visual Communication Consultants, based in Broome with clients across the Kimberley and Pilbara region, is a catalyst for communication where we seek to increase the ability for all to communicate through interpreting, education, and awareness. Over many years of understanding our clients we have witnessed the benefit of friendship to relieve stress, provide comfort and joy, and prevent loneliness and isolation. We have established numerous friendship groups, in an inclusive and safe environment, that uses activities to generate fun and laughter that allow for friendships to flourish.

While the program is fun and engaging, it also has a strong focus on capacity building. Participants are supported to develop key skills across a range of areas, including life skills, social skills, friendship-building, conflict resolution, independence, personal development, and respite.

Our goal is to deliver holiday programs in Broome during December, April, July, and October each year.

You’ll find that our holiday programs are designed to be an exciting adventure with opportunities for friendships to blossom. You can embark on memorable trips to local attractions and enjoy a variety of activities such as swimming, cooking, painting, water slides, shopping, dressing up and cinema outings. It also involves trips to see the local attractions and services e.g. Local Emergency Services providers, the Army, a Crocodile Farm.

The joy of this program is that you spend more time with each other more frequently which takes your communication to another level so much so, that the staff at Visual Communication Consultants will step back and observe the wonder of communication and friendship in full flow.

Our aim is to run a holiday program in December, April and July of each year in Broome.

If you want to volunteer or can offer a facility or service that the holiday program can visit please reach out to us.
