You may just want to have fun and connect with new people or develop your skills to become more independent – maybe a bit of both!  Whatever your goals, we can help you work towards them and get better connected to your local community.

Make your own group 

If you have ideas about activities you would like to try, we’re always open to starting new groups and connecting with community members that can make it happen. You might even want to invite some of your friends and be supported as a group to have a whole lot of fun together. We can help by creating a program that suits you and your friends and provide the support staff and transport as needed.

There are many ways people can access our community & social activities. They are available to anyone who receives a funding package from the NDIS. In your NDIS plan, this could be listed under your Core budget in assistance with social and community participation. There are also options to pay for the service if you don’t have a plan.
