- NDIS Community Access
Your community, your choices
Being an active part of your community is one of the most important contributors to wellbeing, confidence, and a sense of belonging. Our community access support workers go beyond simply accompanying you; they help you build connections, develop confidence, and experience the things you love on your own terms.
Every person’s community looks different. Whether it is sport, music, markets, volunteering, or simply getting out of the house, we support you to do it.
What is Community Access Support?
Community Access (formally Assistance with Social, Economic, and Community Participation) is an NDIS-funded support that helps you engage meaningfully with the world around you. This can include attending events, social groups, sport, education, volunteer work, or everyday outings, whatever brings connection and value to your life.
Who Is This For?
- NDIS participants who want to engage more actively with their local community
- People who need physical, logistical, or social assistance to participate outside the home
- Individuals working towards social goals in their NDIS plan
- People new to an area who want to build local friendships and connections
- Participants building confidence and independence in community settings
