Expand your horizons

Living regionally doesn't have to limit your options – we'll support you to achieve your goals through experiences that go beyond the everyday.

Make new friends

Spending time with friends warms the heart – with our support you can socialise more and build relationships, whether it's at one of our centres or out in the community.

Live your best life

Let's think past the obvious – our support services help you build your skills and capacity to make the most of every day.

What is Social and Community Participation?

Social and Community Participation is all about helping people living with disability to connect with their community and participate in activities that are meaningful to them.

Depending on what works best for you, we might support you individually or you could join a group either at one of our centres or in the community. 

Try new things in a supported environment

You’ll have the chance to take part in a wide range of activities that reflect your interests.

It could be joining a sports club, attending a craft or cooking class, gaining work experience or simply meeting friends for coffee.

We’ll work with you to create a mix of supports that encourage and help you to:

  • socialise with your peers 
  • build relationships
  • increase your skills, capacity and confidence 
  • be part of the community

Funding for Social and Community Participation Services

We provide Social and Community Participation Services to NDIS participants, funded through:
  • Core Supports – Assistance with Social and Community Participation
