Community
Participation
Community Participation, a component of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia, offers services that enable individuals with disabilities to engage in social and community activities, enhancing their social skills.
The services under Community Participation may encompass:
-
Group Activities and Outings: This involves joining group events like sports, concerts, and social gatherings, often guided by a support worker.
-
Volunteer Opportunities: This provides chances for individuals to engage in volunteer activities, such as community gardening or participating in fundraising events.
-
Skill Development Programs: These programs focus on improving social and communication skills, including how to start and sustain conversations and cultivate friendships.
-
Community Access Programs: This includes assistance in utilizing community amenities and services like libraries, community centers, and public transportation.
-
Peer Support Groups: Opportunities are provided for individuals to connect with others who share similar interests and experiences, including participation in peer support groups.
The specific supports and services within Community Participation are tailored to the unique needs and objectives of each individual. This involves a planning process with the person in question, their family or caregivers, and an NDIS planner. The planner collaborates with the individual to recognize their aspirations and needs, creating a plan that details the necessary supports and services to reach these goals. This plan may include Community Participation services if required.
