Welcome to the BAKED Academy NDIS Program

At BAKED Academy, we believe the kitchen is one of the best places to learn, connect and grow.

Our chef-led NDIS baking and cooking program provides participants with an enjoyable, supportive and hands-on environment where they can build capacity, develop practical life skills, strengthen social connections and work towards greater confidence and independence.

Guided by experienced chefs, participants will learn how to prepare a delicious variety of sweet and savoury products while developing useful skills that can be applied at home, in the community and across future learning or employment pathways.

More Than Just Baking

The Culinary School program is about much more than following a recipe.

Each class has been thoughtfully designed to encourage learning through practical experience. Participants are supported to understand each stage of the baking process, make choices, solve problems, complete tasks and take pride in the products they create.

Throughout the program, participants will explore new ingredients, flavours, textures and techniques while developing an understanding of:

  • Food preparation and presentation
  • Kitchen safety and personal hygiene
  • Following recipes and step-by-step instructions
  • Weighing, measuring and portioning ingredients
  • Using kitchen tools and equipment safely
  • Cleaning and maintaining an organised workspace
  • Managing time and completing tasks
  • Preparing food with greater confidence and independence
