FAQ
How does the NDIS fund Social and Community Participation?
Funding typically falls under Core Supports (Assistance with Social and Community Participation) or Capacity Building (Increased Social and Community Participation) in an NDIS plan. The funding category depends on whether the focus is on direct support or skill development aligned with long-term goals.
Can support workers attend activities with participants?
Yes. Support workers can assist participants in attending activities, providing supervision, personal care (if required), skill development, and confidence-building support to encourage meaningful participation in the community.
Can I choose the activities I want to participate in?
Yes. The NDIS emphasizes choice and control. Participants decide which activities they want to engage in, and support workers help facilitate access, transportation, and skill-building to make participation possible.
How do I know if I’m eligible for Social and Community Participation supports?
Eligibility is determined through your NDIS plan. If your goals include community involvement, skill development, or increasing independence, funding may be included. You can discuss this with your Support Coordinator, Local Area Coordinator (LAC), or planner during your planning or plan review meeting.
How is risk managed during participation?
Support providers assess risks before activities and implement strategies to keep participants safe. This may include supervision, training in safety skills, environmental adjustments, or developing a personalised support plan aligned with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission guidelines.
Can Social and Community Participation supports help with transport?
Yes. Supports can include assistance with travel to and from activities, whether by public transport, rideshare, or in a support worker’s vehicle, depending on the participant’s NDIS plan and goals.
