assistance with Social and Community Participation is a funded support category that you may find in your NDIS plan, under Core Supports. This funding covers the support NDIS participants need to meet goals relating to participate in the community, social or recreational activities. 

Now you can get more involved with your community, be social, and participate in recreational activities with our range of social and community supports designed to help you enjoy your hobbies, see your friends, and have some fun.

If you are an NDIS participant and have been approved for the support category 'Core Supports’, you are able to access 'social and community participation' activities using your NDIS plan. One example is funding for a Disability Support Worker to support you to travel to and attend a music concert. This funding also covers support for activities that are either centre-based (e.g. Community Hub) or out in the community (e.g. to attend a book group).

Under Assistance with Social and Community Participation, the NDIS may fund a support worker to support you to:

attend personal development courses

join a social group

take an outing or a holiday

go on a holiday camp

visit your local library

see a movie or a concert

go to community events, and/or

join a sporting club.
