Meaningful activities that build skills, confidence and friendships, from interest groups and volunteering to classes, events and staying connected online.
Innovative Community Participation is an NDIS support designed to help participants build skills, confidence and social connections through meaningful activities in the community. Support is tailored to your interests, abilities and individual goals.
It goes beyond a one-off outing. We help you find groups, classes and opportunities that match what you love, and support you to take part until you feel confident doing it on your own.
Building a social circle is vital for mental and emotional wellbeing. We support you with:
Finding and joining local clubs, from art workshops and book clubs to sporting teams and gaming groups.
Guidance on social cues and confidence-building to help you form lasting connections.
Attending festivals, markets and local performances with a supportive companion by your side.
Community participation is also a chance to grow your skills and share your talents:
Finding meaningful volunteer roles that align with your values and give you a sense of purpose.
Support to enrol in and attend community college courses, adult education or hobby classes.
Encouraging you to share your unique talents with others in a community setting.
Innovative means using every tool available to stay connected:
Learning to use social media and online community forums safely to stay in touch with local happenings.
Getting comfortable using libraries, gyms and civic centres.
Trying new experiences that broaden your horizons and build your resilience.
Participants who want to meet people who share their interests.
People interested in volunteering, classes or learning something new.
Participants who want to feel more at ease in community spaces and online.
