About
Empowering Neurodiverse Lives in Melbourne's Northern Suburbs
Spectrum 3 INC is a registered not-for-profit organisation based in the northern suburbs of Melbourne. We are committed to empowering neurodiverse individuals by providing inclusive programs that support social connection, physical wellbeing, and essential life skills.
Everyone deserves the opportunity to engage with their community, improve their health, and grow in confidence. Our programs are designed to meet people where they are, offering 1-on-1 support, small group sessions, and fully integrated community activities—so each person can participate in ways that suit their goals and comfort levels.
Our core services include
-
S3 Martial Arts – Inclusive martial arts that build strength, discipline, and confidence.
-
S3 Gaming (Future, in Development) – Safe, structured social spaces for creative play and connection.
-
S3 Life Skills (Future, in Development) – Practical workshops that promote independence and reduce stress.
Founded by families who understand the daily realities of supporting neurodiverse loved ones, we are driven by both lived experience and professional care. We're working toward NDIS provider registration and Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status to ensure sustainable, affordable access to our services.
Spectrum 3 INC is a community-led hub where neurodiverse individuals can thrive—not just survive.
Mission
To empower neurodiverse individuals and their families—especially those impacted by the isolation social disruption of the early 2020's—by delivering inclusive programs that rebuild social connection, physical wellbeing, and everyday life skills. We are equally committed to supporting parents and carers by creating a trusted community hub where they can connect, share, and find guidance.
Vision
Empowering Neurodiverse Lives in Melbourne's Northern Suburbs
To create a strong, supportive network in Melbourne’s northern suburbs where neurodiverse individuals and their families can regularly access inclusive programs, build confidence, and connect with others in a safe and welcoming environment.
How We Work
We are small—but we are intentional.
At Spectrum 3 INC, we lead with action, not size. We’re a growing community of committed people delivering real outcomes for neurodiverse individuals and their families in Melbourne’s northern suburbs.
Our support is hands-on, personal, and grounded in lived experience.
Volunteers are welcome
We welcome volunteers and new members—your input matters, and the more you put in, the more you’ll get out. If you have an idea that aligns with our mission, we’ll help you explore it and bring it to life under the S3 banner.
We are clear about who we are.
We are steadfast in our core deliverables. We will facilitate, support, and participate, but we will not be pushed around. We value action, accountability, and shared purpose. This is a space for people who want to make a difference—not just talk about it.
Above all, we value seeing neurodiverse people included in everyday activities.
We’re not here to change the world for anyone—we're here to make sure our members have the tools, support, and confidence to change it for themselves. Whether it's stepping into a mainstream class, finding community, or simply feeling more capable, we’re here to back them—every step of the way.
