Innovative Community Participation

NDIS participant support

Explore new skills, interests and community connections.

Innovative community participation focuses on creative and individualised ways to build skills, confidence and connection. Activities are selected with the participant and linked to personal interests, goals and community opportunities.

We start with your interests and strengths, then explore suitable community, learning, volunteering or skill-building opportunities. Activities are chosen with you and reviewed to ensure they remain meaningful and connected to your goals.
