Life wasn’t meant to be lived alone. Getting out and about, meeting people, building friendships and participating in fun activities is an important part of living a full and active life. For people with disability, this requires accessing the right support, so they can do the things they love.

Social and Community Participation is all about helping people you be part of your community. This could be having a support worker help you participate in your favourite sport, getting transport to a regular activity, learning and practicing a new skill, or staying at an overnight camp in the holidays.

Grow Together Supports provides Social and Community Participation services that help make your dreams a reality. We’ll take the time to understand what you’d like to learn or do, help you create a plan to make it happen with different types of activities and a mix of supports, and provide plenty of assistance along the way.

Some examples of NDIS community participation activities and supports are:

• Learning a new skill or pursuing a new interest, such as horse riding, art classes, sports coaching, community classes or sailing
• Going on a fun outing, such as visiting a farm to see animals, a day at the beach, attending a music concert, or a trip to the movies
• Everyday NDIS social activities, such as visiting the library, music classes, volunteering, or BBQs with friends
• Learning life skills that help you get out in the community, such as catching public transport
• Attending a holiday camp or day program where you can take part in vacation activities, build your capacity and make friends
• Joining a social club related to your interests, where you can make friends and enjoy time with others
• Community activities, such as playing your favourite sport for a local team or attending an event in your local area
• Having a support worker accompany you to an activity, and provide support so you can participate
• Supporting you to volunteer at local community events or programs.
