We don’t just drive you there; we engage with you. We ensure every outing is safe, fun, and meaningful.
Funding for Social Participation
This support can come from two different parts of your NDIS plan.
Core Supports (Assistance with Social & Community Participation)
This funding covers the cost of a support worker to take you to an activity. It is about doing the activity. For example, having someone take you to the movies on a Saturday night.
Capacity Building (Increased Social and Community Participation)
This funding is for learning how to access the community independently. For example, a mentor teaching you how to use public transport so you can eventually go to the movies on your own.
NDIS Pricing
We strictly follow the NDIS Pricing Arrangements. You will only be charged for the support worker’s time and any agreed transport costs. Ticket prices or meal costs are usually paid by you.
FAQs about Community Participation
Do you pay for movie tickets or meals?
No. The NDIS pays for the support worker to accompany you. The cost of the activity itself (tickets, food, entry fees) is an everyday living cost and is paid by you.
Can I go to activities on weekends?
Yes! We offer support 7 days a week, including evenings and weekends. Weekend rates apply as per the NDIS Price Guide.
What if I don't know what to do?
That’s okay! We can help you explore local NDIS community activities and clubs in the Gold Coast and Brisbane area to find something you enjoy.
Can you take me to a family event?
Yes. We can support you to attend weddings, birthdays, or family BBQs, ensuring your personal care and mobility needs are met while you celebrate.
Is this different from a Day Program?
Yes. Community Participation is usually 1-on-1 and happens out in the public. Group & Centre Activities happen in a group setting, often at a specific centre.
