What is Community Participation Under NDIS?

It’s not just about being there. It’s about belonging.

  • Going shopping or to the movies
  • Volunteering or skill-building workshops
  • Even going out for a walk or coffee with support

Whether it’s one-on-one outings or NDIS group activities, it’s all about promoting inclusion, independence, and confidence.
