About the service
About Community Access & Day Programs under the NDIS
Community access and day programs give participants structured, innovative ways to take part in their community, build skills, and connect with others. This category emphasises creative, flexible approaches — moving beyond traditional centre-based models to project-based activities, mentoring, arts and media, enterprise, volunteering, and supported involvement in mainstream community groups, all designed around participants' genuine interests and aspirations.
These programs can suit people who want purposeful, community-based participation, and a strong program supports each person's individual goals within the group. Funding generally comes from Core supports for community participation or capacity-building supports, with costs often shared across the group. When choosing a program, look for a provider that tailors participation to people's interests, gets out into the community, and focuses on building skills and connections; visit if you can to sense whether the culture and activities match what you are looking for.
