NDIS Funded Support Workers

Assistance with Social and Community Participation is a funded support category that you may find in your NDIS plan, under Core Supports. This funding covers the support NDIS participants need to meet goals relating to participating in community, social or recreational activities.
Support can be provided at home or out in the community. This category covers assistance with activities that build your skills and independence. Some examples might be:
  • Going to the shops
  • Recreational activities such as photography
  • Classes such as art classes
  • Sporting activities such as the gym or swimming lessons
  • Vacation activities

Community and Recreational Activities

We are interested in your activities and hobbies. We can drive you to the shops or help you with online shopping if you prefer.

Our support workers are passionate about supporting people to achieve their individual goals, whatever that may be. We also love to have fun, whether that is watching a movie or going to your favourite cafe. We are available in the evenings and weekends too.

Would you like to improve your IT skills or learn to edit a video? Our support workers have expertise in technology and can provide one on one coaching in:

  • Videography
  • Video editing
  • Photography and Photoshop
  • Everyday computer skills
