WHY LIGHTMARE CLICKS

Online Sessions

Log in from PC, Xbox Series S/X, or PS5 to play, create digital art, dive into Dungeons & Dragons, or build a game through Vibe Coding — designing an entire game simply by talking it out.

Credible Mentors

Industry veterans, allied‑health professionals, and support workers guide every session. We understand autism, ADHD, anxiety, and the many ways brains can operate — and we celebrate those strengths.

Globally Renowned

Our own title, Infinity Wars, boasts over 500,000 players, and our training programs have earned international innovation awards.

Inclusive by Design

Small, mixed‑gender groups where girls, guys, and non‑binary gamers feel equally welcome. Safe spaces, zero judgement.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Is it really NDIS‑covered?
Yes. We supply all documentation for it to be covered through a selection of various plan line items. Nearly all participants have access to a funding pool that can be used to cover the costs in full by the NDIS.
Typically 12 – 30. Outside that range? Let’s talk — we often find a solution.
Just a PC or current‑gen console, headset, and stable internet.
Small (4 – 6 participants) so everyone feels safe, heard, and included.
