Home / Programs & Support / Short term Respite, Getaways & Adventures
Our respite and getaways create space to recharge, explore and grow. From local overnight stays to regional adventures, each experience is planned around the individual and designed to build confidence, independence and memorable life experiences.
Sometimes stepping away from the usual routine creates opportunities to discover just how capable you can be.
Â
Our respite stays, getaways and adventures combine support with real experiences exploring new places, sharing responsibilities, making choices and developing everyday skills in a relaxed and enjoyable environment.
Â
Whether it’s an overnight stay close to home or an adventure further afield, each experience is thoughtfully planned around the individual, their interests, goals and support needs.
Â
Along the way, participants can build confidence, practise independence, strengthen social connections and experience the sense of achievement that comes from trying something new.
A great getaway starts with getting to know the person behind the plan.
Â
We’ll talk with you, your family or support team about your interests, goals, support needs and the kinds of experiences you’d enjoy. From there, we can explore upcoming opportunities and find an experience that feels right for you.
Â
Our getaways are kept small and personal so everyone can feel supported, included and part of the experience.

Ready for a change of scenery?
I started training with PTM in March 2020 to help me deal with stress and a traumatic event. I started with simple yoga stretches and low impact exercises because my health and fitness was quite poor – I couldn’t do sit ups or climb stairs without getting puffed out.
I decided to challenge myself and push my boundaries because being in an older age bracket, I was concerned about ageing strong and being healthy for as long as possible.
I think that the biggest secret to being successful in achieving goals is consistency, setting goals a little higher than you think you’re capable of achieving and then just going for it and making small adjustments each time and giving it your best.
My advice to anyone thinking of starting is to stop thinking about it and just start. One step at a time. Set yourself realistic goals – you’re first and foremost doing this for yourself. You deserve to feel and be at your best.
I’ve been with Power to Move for 12 months and have been part of the Fit4Life Program.
I am Obese and when I started with the team I needed to lose over 60 kilos, get my blood sugar, cholesterol and general health under control and start to move more.
Cass helped ease me into training. We started with a few sessions each week, and now I’m at the gym sometimes twice a day. Cass has helped me with my food and movement and now trainer Max is taking my fitness and health to the next level.
I’ve lost 28 kilos and 58 centimetres so far, and I’m committed to achieving my health and lifestyle goals.
My name is Madison McCarthy. I’ve been training at Power to Move for almost 6 months and cannot believe the change I have endured mentally and physically.
I absolutely love the vibe and inclusivity of this gym and really think I have achieved the best results here.
With head trainer Cassandra, I have lost a total of 38cm whilst training here and most importantly, have achieved a changed positive mindset toward being healthy and active on a daily basis.
