SNAP Programs Limited is a leading not-for-profit organisation that provides support services in the Hunter, Newcastle and Central Coast regions. We support children, young people and adults with a disability, and/or who may display challenging behaviours. SNAP Programs Limited offer a wide range of services including SIL, Community Access, Respite, and Camps to name a few.
