What This Looks Like For You

Support That Meets You Out In The World

Peter Calderone, Reach My Potential

Getting Out & Connecting

Community participation is support to be part of the world beyond your front door: hobbies, sport, groups, volunteering, courses, events or a regular outing you look forward to all week. We help with all of it, from working out what you'd like to try, to travelling there and back, to staying alongside you until you're as independent as you want to be. Around our part of Sydney that might mean a swim at Ryde Aquatic Leisure Centre, a walk along the Bay Run at Drummoyne or a class at your local community college. Your interests set the agenda.

  • One-on-one community access and outings
  • Group activities and social connection
  • Supported travel there and back again

More About Community Participation

Support to take part in community, social and recreational activities is a standard part of most NDIS plans, and depending on your goals it can sit in your Core budget, your capacity building budget or both. We'll talk you through where it sits and help you match it to the right part of your plan, whether you're self-managed, plan-managed or working with a support coordinator.

Of course, and starting small is often the best way. A coffee at a quiet cafe, a short walk somewhere green or twenty minutes at the local library is a perfectly good first outing. You set the pace, and each step out builds the confidence for the next one.

Absolutely, if that's what you'd like. Some people want support to do things independently of family, and others feel most comfortable when someone familiar is there, especially early on. Either way works, and it can change from outing to outing.

Almost anything that gets you connected and enjoying life: sport and swimming, clubs and classes, markets, volunteering, faith communities, gaming groups or visiting friends. If it matters to you, it's worth supporting, and we'll help you find local options you might never have heard about.
