0116 – Innovative Community Participation
Innovative Community Participation
Innovative Community Participation is a goal-directed support. It is not simply a recreational outing. Activities are designed around a participant's NDIS goals — building skills, independence and genuine community connection — and are reviewed as progress is made.
Who this suits
- Participants with community participation goals in their plan
- People working towards skill development, confidence or social connection
- Participants who want structured, purposeful engagement rather than ad hoc activities
What support can include

Outcomes we work towards

Our approach
How we deliver Community Participation
We start with your goals, then design supports that work towards them.
Progress is discussed openly with you and, where you choose, your Support Coordinator.
Activities are purposeful and reviewed rather than repeated by default.
