The Compass Institute is a Sunshine Coast based Charity dedicated to assisting people in “Mastering the Art of Life”. In 2002 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 focussed service has been overwhelming and the results for the young people accessing the service have been extraordinary.

Between 1992 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 & Enrichment – Further education & Lifelong learning

Lifestyle services – Community participation and Living solutions

Training and Vocations – Certified training, Community enterprises & placements

Corporate Partnerships – Working with the business community to mutual benefit
