What Is Assistance with Social and Community Participation?
Assistance with social and community participation is an NDIS support that helps people with disabilities engage in social, recreational and community activities. This can involve support to attend social groups, get to appointments, spend time in the community, volunteer, or take part in recreational activities you enjoy. The focus is on helping you actively participate in these settings, with support tailored to what you want to do and how much assistance you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
Under the NDIS, assistance with social and community participation doesn’t cover personal care, household tasks or therapy-based skill building. These types of support are typically funded under other NDIS categories, like Assistance with Daily Life. It also doesn’t usually cover activity costs like tickets, memberships, meals or personal purchases unless specifically approved in your NDIS plan. The funding is for the support worker’s time to help you participate, not the activity itself.
The activities depend on what you’d like to do. They may include social groups, joining a hobby or fitness program, volunteering, going to appointments, or spending time in the community, like visiting cafés, markets, parks or local events. Exactly what is included depends on what’s approved in your NDIS plan and how the activity supports your participation.
Yes. You choose the activities you’d like to take part in. Support is flexible and can change as your interests change, provided it stays within the scope of your NDIS plan. There’s no set program or fixed activity list.
The NDIS assesses eligibility based on whether assistance with social and community participation is a reasonable and necessary support for you. They consider your goals, current level of community involvement and the support you need to participate. If you’re unsure, you can discuss your situation with our team.
