About Ignition Gamers

FREE TRIAL SESSION FAQS

During the free trial session at Ignition Gamers, you have the flexibility to come for the entire session or just part of it, so you can get a feel for what we’re all about. Explore our welcoming environment and get a sense of the inclusive and fun atmosphere we’ve created.

Where do I go?

Our studio is located at 7 O’Hanlon Pl, Nicholls ACT.

 

If you’re joining us online, you’ll receive an invitation with session details via email.

Must all participants have low support needs?

Yes. When we refer to participants with “low support needs,” we mean that our programs are best suited for individuals who require minimal assistance or intervention to participate fully. This typically includes individuals who can navigate social situations independently, communicate their needs effectively, and manage their behaviour in group settings without constant supervision or support. While we strive to accommodate individuals with diverse needs, our programs may not be suitable for those who require more intensive or one-on-one support. If you have any questions about whether our programs fit you or your loved one, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

What makes Ignition Gamers' peer support unique?

At Ignition Gamers, all our team members have lived experience, hired through Disability Employment Providers, making them uniquely positioned to provide empathetic and genuine support. Peer support is at the heart of our approach, allowing us to create a space where autistic individuals feel understood and empowered. Our commitment is also guided by the Mental Health Lived Experience (Peer Work) Framework, which our founder Stephen contributed to. Learn more about the framework HERE.

Can you help with transport?

We sure can. We do have some requirements, so please chat with us.

What should I bring?

No need to bring anything; just bring yourself and your curiosity.

What happens when I arrive?

Our friendly Peer Workers, either Dale, Dan, or Will, will be there to greet you and introduce you to the rest of the group, ensuring a warm welcome.

How long is the session?

Our sessions go for two (2) hours. You’re welcome to stay for the full session, or only part of the session.

What happens during the session?

You’ll get the chance to see the games we’re playing and even join in on the fun if you’d like.
