Community participation means having someone go with you when you want to get out. That might be the shops, a class, a club, church, the library, a coffee with friends, or an appointment. A support worker goes along and helps as much as you need. Over time, many people find they need less help. That is the idea.
What's included
- Someone to go with you to clubs, classes and activities
- Trips out — cafes, the movies, the shops, local events
- Sport, swimming, the gym and getting active
- Getting to appointments and running errands
- Volunteering, community groups and church
- Visiting family and friends, and having people over
- Building your confidence so you can do more on your own
Who it's for
People who would like to get out more often, and who need a hand, a lift, or a bit of confidence to make it happen.
Questions about community access
No. You pay for yourself, and we pay for our worker. Your NDIS money pays for the worker's time only. It does not pay for their entry ticket, their lunch, or your activity.
Yes, and it costs less per hour. When one worker supports two or three people, your budget stretches further. For a lot of people that means more days out for the same money.
