Living with a disability should not mean missing out on the things that make life meaningful. Whether you want to join a local activity, build new friendships, gain confidence in your community or simply get out and about more often, NDIS community participation support can help you do exactly that. We work with participants right across Hobart and the surrounding areas of Tasmania to make community life genuinely accessible, enjoyable and purposeful.
Community participation under the NDIS is about supporting people with disability to take part in social, recreational and community life in ways that are meaningful to them. It sits within the NDIS support category known as Assistance with Social, Economic and Community Participation, which is often referred to simply as social and community participation.
NDIS social and community participation covers a broad range of activities. It is not limited to one type of outing or one kind of social setting. Instead, it recognises that every participant has different interests, goals and comfort levels, and that genuine inclusion looks different for everyone.
Community participation NDIS funding can support you to:
Community access is closely related and refers specifically to support that helps you physically get into and take part in your community, whether that is using public transport, visiting a shopping centre or attending a local event.
Our team provides flexible, person-centred support designed around what you want to achieve. Depending on your NDIS plan and your goals, we can assist with a wide range of activities and skill-building opportunities.
Our community participation support includes:
Hobart has a wonderful variety of spaces and activities that work beautifully as part of a community participation programme. Depending on your interests, goals and support plan, activities might include:
Our support workers genuinely know and love Hobart. That local knowledge makes a real difference when it comes to matching participants with activities that suit them and making sure each outing runs smoothly.
We do not run a fixed programme that every participant follows. Community participation looks different depending on who you are, what you enjoy and what your NDIS goals are working towards. Some people want to build social confidence. Others want to stay active, explore their interests or develop practical skills they can use independently.
When we sit down with you at the start of your support, we take the time to understand your individual goals, your comfort level and the kinds of activities that genuinely appeal to you. From there, we build a support approach that feels right for you, not a programme designed for someone else.
If your goals change, we adjust. If an activity is not working, we try something different. Your support should grow with you.
We offer both individual and group community participation support, because different people thrive in different settings.
One-to-one support pairs you with a support worker who focuses entirely on you. This works well if you prefer a quieter environment, need a higher level of support or are building confidence before joining group activities.
Group activities bring a small number of participants together to enjoy shared experiences. Group settings can be a natural way to meet new people, develop social skills and enjoy activities that are more fun with others around.
Many participants use a combination of both, depending on the activity and how they are feeling on a given day. We are flexible and will always follow your lead.
Getting started is straightforward. Here is what the process looks like:

NDIS community participation is support that helps people with disability take part in social, recreational and community activities. It is funded under the Assistance with Social, Economic and Community Participation support category and can include everything from attending local events to building social skills and accessing community facilities.
Social and community participation under the NDIS refers to funded support that helps participants engage with their community in meaningful ways. This could include social outings, group activities, volunteering, joining clubs or simply having a support worker accompany you to places you would like to visit. The goal is to increase inclusion, independence and wellbeing.
Activities can cover a wide range. Common examples include visiting libraries, attending markets or festivals, joining walking or sporting groups, taking classes, volunteering, going to galleries or museums, and practising everyday skills like shopping or using public transport. Activities are chosen based on your personal goals and interests, not a fixed programme.
