How to Register

All participants submit an Expression of Interest.

If your child or young person is new to Spectrum Space, a Meet & Greet is part of the onboarding process. This helps us understand their preferences and support a smooth start.

  • For the Under 10 program, Meet & Greet’s take place face-to-face in our Fremantle office.
  • For programs aged 10 and above, Meet & Greet’s can be held online or in person.
  • If your child or young person has attended a Spectrum Space program within the past 12 months, a Meet & Greet is usually not required unless there have been any changes you would like us to know about.

After your Meet & Greet, our team will review your information and contact you if we need more details.

We will then guide you through preparing and signing a Service Agreement. Once signed, you can confirm the program sessions you would like to attend and secure your child or young person’s place.

We will support you every step of the way and answer any questions you may have.

Places are limited—start your enrolment early to secure your spot!
