NDIS Social and Community Participation
What is NDIS Social and Community Participation?
Social and community participation is a type of support funded by the NDIS provided to individuals with disabilities to help them engage in social, recreational, and community-based activities. The aim is to improve the quality of life by promoting greater inclusion, independence, and connection with others.
Under the NDIS, social and community participation services are designed to assist participants in overcoming barriers that may prevent them from participating in everyday activities. This could include joining clubs, attending events, volunteering, or simply socialising with others in their community.
What Does Social and Community Participation Look Like?
Social and community participation really is what it sounds like. It involves interacting with others in a social or recreational environment. Under the NDIS, this includes group activities, community participation programs, attending events, and more. Some specific examples of social and community participation that our clients enjoy are:
Joining a community or social group
Joining a sporting club
Attending a social event
Volunteering within the community
Participating in skill-building workshops
Attending a class or course
Visiting the local library
Going to a concert or the cinemas
