    WOW Surf Therapy Expression of Interest

    2026, Waves of Wellness 8-Week Mental Health Surf Therapy Program
  • We’re so glad you’re here! Thank you for your interest in a Waves of Wellness Surf Therapy program. This short form (around 10 minutes) helps us understand which program you’re eligible for and how we can best support you.

    If you’re under 18, a parent or guardian must complete this form on your behalf.


    If there isn’t a program available right now, you’ll be added to our registration list, and we'll contact you as soon as a program opens in your area.

    If you have any questions, please email us at info@foundationwow.org or call 0459 041 832.

  • Physical Readiness for the Program

  • Each Waves of Wellness session includes a beginner-level surf lesson. For safety reasons, participants need to have a basic level of physical fitness, be able to swim at least 50 metres, and be physically able to participate in water-based activities (with reasonable supports if required).

    Sessions are led by qualified surf coaches and delivered in a group setting. While support is always available, one-on-one assistance may not always be possible.

  • Your answer won’t automatically exclude you from the program. If you’re unsure, please select 'maybe' so we can talk it through.

  • Mental Readiness for the Program

  • WOW programs involve group discussions and outdoor activities. While trained mental health clinicians facilitate sessions, the program is delivered in a group setting and is not one-on-one therapy.

  • Your answer won’t automatically exclude you from the program. If you’re unsure, please select 'maybe' so we can talk it through.

  • Submitting this form doesn’t guarantee an immediate place in a program. Due to high demand, there may be a wait before a suitable program becomes available.

    Once you’ve submitted the form, you’ll receive an automated email confirming whether you’ve been registered for a program or placed on our waitlist.

    If you’re registered for a program, a member of the WOW team will contact you within 1–3 weeks. If you’re on the waitlist, we’ll contact you by email as soon as a suitable program becomes available.
