What it is

Community participation covers outings, hobbies, classes and errands. It might be a walk in Parramatta Park, a library class or local footy.

You lead. You might want to catch the Metro from Rouse Hill on your own. You might want to try something new or have good company along the way. We plan the support around what matters to you.

What it looks like

What this looks like day to day

Your interests first

We start from what you enjoy and build from there. You choose the activities.
Building independence

If you want to, we work toward you doing more on your own. That might be catching the bus or doing the shopping start to finish.
Making local connections

Getting out of the house is part of it. Making friends and feeling at home in your community matter too.

What's included

What the support can cover

Every plan is different, so we plan the mix with you. This support can include:

Outings, events and social activities
Hobbies, classes and interest groups
Using buses, trains and the Metro
Volunteering and getting ready for work
Sport, swimming and staying active
Support to join local clubs and groups

How we work

How we work together

We start by listening. Then we change things as your goals change.

We start with what you enjoy

The things you already love, and the things you have always wanted to try.
We plan it around you

Your pace, your energy and your comfort level. Some days are big and some are quiet.
We build confidence gently

If independence is your goal, we step back a little more each time you are ready.
We review your goals

As your interests change, we change what we do together.

Who it's for

Who this support suits

Community participation suits anyone who wants more connection, more confidence out and about, or more of the things they enjoy. It can work alongside your other supports or on its own. How much support you can use depends on your NDIS plan.
