Participation in Community

Experience greater belonging and independence through accessible, participant-focused social opportunities.

Connect, Contribute, Belong

Participation in Community is an NDIS-funded service that supports individuals with disabilities to actively engage in social, recreational, and community activities. This service aims to foster social inclusion, build confidence, and enhance overall well-being by helping participants connect with others and pursue their interests. 

Through tailored support, individuals are empowered to overcome barriers, develop social networks, and experience a greater sense of belonging, ultimately improving their quality of life and encouraging meaningful involvement in their local communities.

What Is This Service?

This service is ideal for individuals who are looking to find a job or explore volunteer opportunities that match their interests and abilities. It’s also perfect for those who need support in developing essential work-readiness skills such as communication, time management, and workplace etiquette. If you require hands-on assistance, mentoring, or coaching while on the job, we provide tailored support to help you succeed and grow in your role. Additionally, we help young people transition smoothly from school or training programs into meaningful employment pathways, ensuring they're well-prepared and confident for the next chapter in their career journey.
