Community participation under the NDIS is support that helps participants take part in social, recreational, educational and everyday community activities. It can help people build confidence, learn new skills, meet others and become more independent in their local area.

What Does Community Participation Include?

Community participation can look different for every participant. It depends on the person’s goals, interests, abilities and NDIS plan.

• Attending social groups, events or community activities.
• Going shopping, visiting cafes, parks or libraries.
• Building travel skills and confidence in public places.
• Taking part in hobbies, sport, fitness or creative programs.
• Attending appointments or local services with support.

Why Is Community Participation Important?

Community participation supports more than just outings. It helps participants feel included, develop daily living skills, build friendships and improve confidence. The right support can also reduce isolation and encourage greater independence.
