About the service
About Social Activities & Participation under the NDIS
Social and community participation supports help participants take part in the social, recreational, and civic life of their community, joining groups and clubs, attending events, pursuing hobbies, volunteering, and building friendships. Meaningful participation reduces isolation and builds confidence, and support is shaped around your interests: help to join a sports team, attend a class, or volunteer for a cause you care about.
The best support does not just chaperone but builds the skills, confidence, and connections to participate more independently over time. Funding comes from Core supports for social participation or capacity-building supports where independence is the goal; the NDIS funds the support you need to take part, not the ordinary cost of the activity itself. When choosing a provider, consider how well they tailor support to your interests, how they match workers to you, and whether they help you build lasting community connections rather than dependence on paid support.

Does the NDIS pay for the activities themselves?

How is social and community participation funded?
It is usually funded under Core supports for social and community participation, or under capacity-building supports where the aim is to build the skills and confidence to participate more independently. The support must relate to your disability and your goals.
How do I choose a provider for community participation?
Look for a provider that tailors support to your interests, matches workers well to you, and helps you build lasting connections rather than dependence on paid support. Reliability, flexibility, and workers who respect your interests make participation more enjoyable and effective.
