It provides them with opportunities to develop their skills, meet new people and even improve their economic participation.
Assistance with Social and Community Participation is a support category funded by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) so that the participants can access the help they need to safely take part in social and recreational activities.

Some people may need specialised equipment to partake in certain activities and the NDIS will bear the cost of that under Assistance with Social and Community Participation if it is found to be ‘reasonable and necessary.’ Community Participation promotes independence and increased social interaction among the participants which will help them to pursue their NDIS goals and reduce the need for certain supports in future.

Participating in community events and activities is an excellent way to discover yourself. It will help you with personal development and strengthen your bond with other people.
