Community Participation
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) offers a variety of supports to help participants engage in social and community activities. These supports are designed to assist individuals with disabilities in connecting with others, building skills, and participating in activities they enjoy.
Social and recreation supports include joining clubs, participating in sports, or attending social events, and require evidence of how these supports relate to the individual's disability. The NDIS also ensures participants can maintain their social and community connections as their needs change, potentially through flexible funding or plan adjustments.
Moreover, the NDIS engages with participants, families, carers, and the disability sector to co-design supports that meet the community's needs. This engagement is facilitated through various activities and advisory groups.
