Where does the class take place?

Classes are currently held at the Ngutungka West Lakes. More classes are coming to different locations soon.

What should I bring?

Bring your laptop if you need it, your charger, your phone, your diary, a notebook, or that box of photos you’ve been meaning to sort out for six months.
 
Basically, bring whatever it is you want to get done, and whatever will help you do it.
 
You’re also welcome to bring fidget toys, blankets, cushions, snacks, and drinks to make yourself comfortable.
 
Ngutungka West Lakes has tea and coffee facilities available, and you’re welcome to help yourself at any time during the session.

What time is it?

Most classes are held on a Monday night between 6 pm –9 pm.
 
There are also occasional classes on Wednesdays and weekends. Check the ticketing information for details.
 
If there’s a time you’re desperate to attend, reach out to Victoria-Rose via email and she’ll do her best to make that time available in a future session.

What is parking like?

Parking around the venue is limited, but all parking is free.

There are a few spaces behind the building, though some may be reserved at times, and there is also street parking available. Disability parking is located at the back of the building.

For the easiest park, we recommend the Westfield Shopping Centre car park opposite Carl’s Jr, as this is usually the simplest option for finding a spot.

Do you have companion card tickets?

Yes. You are more than welcome to bring someone along to support you.
 
Companion card tickets are available at checkout. All you need to do is show your card on the night.

Do I need a formal diagnosis to attend?

Not at all.
 
This space is open to anyone who identifies as neurodivergent, whether you have a formal diagnosis, are waiting for one, or are simply exploring.

Is this a therapy or support group?

No.

The Adulting Club is an educational workshop and community space. Victoria-Rose is an educator and advocate, not a therapist. This is a practical, peer-supported session, not a clinical service.

Will I have to speak in front of everyone?

No.
 
Participation is entirely at your own comfort level. You’re welcome to listen, contribute when you feel like it, or just be in the room.

What is the environment like?

The room is set to 22 degrees and has comfortable chairs and tables. There are also break out spaces if you are needing to step out, and a kitchen facility for tea, coffee, water and a microwave if needed.
 
The session is held in a quiet library room, with flexible seating and a small group size of max 15 people.
 
It’s designed to be low-pressure, sensory-friendly, and comfortable enough to actually settle into.

What if I need to leave early or step out?

Completely fine. No explanation needed.

What will actually happen during the class?

Each session varies, especially with one off classes.

However, majority of sessions follow the same structure: There is a short socialisation period to get to know the other people in attendance, then Victoria-Rose opens the session with a workshop-style educational segment. From there, the night moves into guided exercises designed to help you actually make a start on your own too-hard basket or the whatever shared activity your class focuses on.
 
All guidance is through your own reflections and insights, not through someone telling you what to do or how to do it.
 
The Adulting Club is about empowering you to guide your own path through the parts of life that are a little more challenging — with structure, support, and a little less self-criticism.

Is this event recurring?

Yes. Most events are recurring, however some are special one off classes.
 
The Fundamentals class for people who want to get started, build momentum, and stop feeling like life is a constant pile of unfinished things.
 
If you want to keep going and go deeper, there is a 5-class, 10-week course called Get It Together.
 
That course goes further into who you are, procrastination, identity, stopping the spiral, and actually becoming someone who can get through the boring bits without feeling so stuck.
 
Victoria-Rose also runs standalone classes like Get It Done, which is a longer co-working class with more time to focus, work, and get the things in your hard basket done.
 
There are also one-off classes and special events.

Can I stim and be unmasked?

You’re welcome to be as you are – mask, unmask, stim, use headphones, take breaks, or doodle. As long as everyone is safe and respectful, you can exist in the way that feels best for your body.
