The Compass Institute

The Compass Institute is a Sunshine Coast based charity dedicated to providing real futures for young Queenslanders with a disability. In 2003 Compass followed its dream to develop a truly leading edge service for people with an intellectual and/or physical disability. The response from the community to a developmental and transition focused service has been overwhelming and the results for the young people accessing the service have been extraordinary.

Between 1991 and 2006 Compass provided Alternative Education programmes to over seven thousand at-risk children and youth through local schools. Employing the principles of traditional martial arts philosophy and practice these unique experiential programmes pioneered early intervention in Queensland.

The Compass service has developed to incorporate several aspects…

Education and Enrichment – Further education and lifelong learning

Lifestyle services – Community participation and living solutions

Training and Vocations – Certified training, community enterprises and placements

Corporate Partnerships – Working with the business community to mutual benefit
