Assisting with Social and Community Involvement

Assistance with Social and Community Participation is a funded support category found under Core Supports in your NDIS plan.

This support will help NDIS members achieve their goals of participating in community, social, or recreational activities. These activities might take place in a centre or in the neighborhood.

Given the participant’s plan goals, all services funded under this item must be considered to be reasonable and essential.

You might spend this money to hire a Disability Support Worker to accompany you to a music concert.

This funding also covers standard or higher intensity rates of support for activities that are either centre-based or out in the community (e.g., to attend a gardening group).

The NDIS may fund a support worker under Assistance with Social and Community Participation to help you: attend personal development courses

• join a social group
• take an outing or a holiday
• go on a holiday camp
• visit your local library
• see a movie or a concert
• go to community events, and/or
• join a sporting club.

We specialize in working with people who have problematic behavior or high medical support needs that require additional assistance, and we offer specialised higher intensity support.

SUPPORTS FOR CAPACITY BUILDING

Participation in social and community activities has increased.

Our goal is to increase social and community participation, particularly in the community, by assisting you in participating in activities such as camping, classes, and vacation activities that include capacity-building components. Assistance in establishing volunteer arrangements in the community, mentoring, peer support, and individual skill development are just a few examples.

Examples provided by the NDIS of support that can be funded include:

• Universal recreational activities: A limited number of lessons could be funded to enable a participant to try out an activity and test their capability and interest in pursuing this activity further – such as horse riding, art, dance or singing classes
• Funding to attend a “camp” or groups that build a person’s relationship skills and offer a range of activities and opportunities to explore wider interests.
• Other items or adjustments such as customised tools required because of the person’s disability, could also be funded. An example of this is if you wanted to play all abilities golf and needed to buy an adapted golf club to play. Or you wanted to do a drumming class and needed to buy an adapted glove to allow you to grip the drumsticks.
