Our Caring Humanity, we think social connection plays an important role in overall wellbeing. Our disability community participation support improves your confidence, assists you to join social groups, learn things and participate in local events you love and enjoy.
Whether you want to understand social groups better or take part in some leisure activities or learn experience new learning or skills, we work with you to ensure that you remain connected to your community. We take a flexible and person-centred approach to social and community participation Canberra-wide, providing the individual with the opportunity you create based around their individual goals and desires.
As a dedicated NDIS community participation Canberra provider, we know that meaningful connection looks different for everyone — for some, that’s a weekly catch-up with the same small group; for others, it’s trying something completely new. Either way, our NDIS social participation support is built around what actually feels worthwhile to you, not a generic activity calendar.
Social community participation is about taking part in the everyday activities that connect you to the world around you. That might mean going to a local cafe, joining a sports team, attending a community festival, taking up an arts class, doing some volunteering, or simply spending time with others in your neighbourhood. It covers a wide range of activities, and the focus is on what matters to you.
Under the NDIS, this support sits across two budget types. Core Supports covers Assistance with Social and Community and Social Participation, which means having a support worker help you get out and take part in day-to-day activities right now. Capacity Building covers Increased Social and Community and Social Participation, which is about building the skills and confidence to participate more independently over time.
