We stay when it gets hard.
When a young person does not want to leave the house, we adjust the approach and keep showing up. We do not log the refusal and move on. The plan is still the plan on Tuesday.
Community access for 16–25 year olds · Sydney
Walking alongside young people in Sydney as they build the next chapter.
One-on-one community access for young adults with autism, intellectual disability, or psychosocial needs. We turn up week after week — at the pace your young person can hold — until the week starts to feel like theirs.
Why this exists
Because every young person should get to author their own week.
Mariam started Solace Path Care after eight years of watching young people get parked. Hours filled, goals ignored, families quietly told to expect less. She knew there was another way, because she had seen it work.
So the whole business is built around one thing — being the person who actually walks alongside a young adult while they build a real, full life. The bus. The shifts. The friendships. The Tuesday.
“I just love being around the young people. We have lots of fun. That’s why I do this.”
What community access can be
An expanding world, week by week.
Community access works when the outing has a job to do. Build confidence in public this month. Catch the bus alone next month. Walk into something new the month after. Same loop, repeated, until it stops being a transition and starts being a Tuesday.
That is what we are here for.
He’s talking at dinner again.
The first signal usually shows up at home. Calmer when he gets back from a session. Mentioning tomorrow on his own. Coming out of his room when family visit.
Catching the bus with one prompt.
What started as a walk to the corner shop is now a bus route to a part-time job. The OT clocks the functional gain in her next assessment without us telling her.
A workplace, a uniform, a Tuesday.
Job search, an interview, a first shift. The employment agency notices the readiness before we flag it. Six months from the lounge room to a payslip.
Plan-review days that mean something.
For the first time in years, the progress column has specific things in it. Other people in the room can confirm them without being coached.
In practice
The outing is not the point. The growth that happens during it is.
Same plan everyone else has. We just read it, and design every session around something it asks for.
Sessions get further over time.
Week one is a walk to the corner shop. Month three is catching the bus alone. Month six can be a job interview, a uniform, a first shift. Same loop, further down the road each time.
The first meeting is at your kitchen table.
No clipboard. We ask what has actually been tried, what you actually want six months from now, and what the first phase of support should target. The answer to that last one shapes everything.
One worker. One young person. The real world.
The pace, the place, and the goal are shaped to one person. It feels like life with someone alongside, not a program someone is being put through.
What this looked like once
Six months. A bus route. A uniform on a hook.
A young man in his late teens. Early sessions: getting confident in public, catching transport, ordering at a counter. When he was ready, the support shifted. Job searching. Interviews. A uniform. A first shift. Then a second.
His case manager noticed. So did the psychologist, the OT, and the employment agency. Nobody asked them to look. His mum noticed earlier than all of them, because he was talking at dinner again.
Two ways in
You are probably reading this for one of two reasons.
You are family
The next chapter, at the pace your child can hold.
We sit at the kitchen table and ask what you actually want six months from now. We build the work around the answer. You see the change at home before we report on it.
You refer
Goals that move, session by session.
Support coordinators, OTs, psychologists, transition and employment coordinators. You will see progress in your own assessments before we mention it, and notes that say what was worked on.
Tell us where they are now. We will help you imagine where they could be in six months.
A short note is enough. We will reply within a couple of business days.
