NDIS Social Community Participation

There are many factors that the NDIS considers before deciding on your available funding. The support service needs to be reasonable and necessary to help you achieve your goals, purpose, and aspirations.

Community Participation assistance is covered under the NDIS’ funding for Assistance with social and community participation. The specifics of your NDIS Plan will determine how you can use the available funds, whether they’re considered Core Supports, Capacity Building, or Capital Funding. If you’re not sure if your needs fall under this category, we can help you clarify with the NDIA exactly what is and isn’t covered under your personalised plan.

We start by getting to know you, not just your NDIS plan. Whether you’re interested in sport, art, volunteering, social groups, education, or trying something completely new, we tailor supports around your interests, goals, and the experiences that matter most to you.

People living with disabilities can feel very alone at times and even small acts of community participation can boost a person’s confidence. Not only for those living with a disability, but also for family members, caretakers, and other community members as well.
