NDIS Community Participation refers to a key support category within the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia. It is designed to assist individuals with disabilities to actively engage in their communities and participate in social, recreational, and cultural activities. The goal of community participation is to promote social inclusion, enhance social skills, and build meaningful relationships.

Under this category, participants receive support tailored to their unique interests and aspirations. This may include assistance in joining community groups, attending events, participating in sports and hobbies, accessing educational programs, and volunteering opportunities. The support provided can vary depending on the participant’s needs, and it may involve one-on-one assistance, group-based activities, or the provision of aids and equipment.

The NDIS is Australia’s first national Scheme for people with disability. It provides funding directly to individuals.
