What Is Community Access and Participation?

Community Access and Participation is a funded support category under the NDIS, sitting under Support Category 4: Assistance with Social and Community Participation. It is designed to help participants engage in social, recreational, and community activities that build skills, strengthen connections, and reduce isolation.

Funding can be accessed through two streams:

Core Supports - covers everyday assistance to attend and participate in activities, including support worker time and transport.

Capacity Building - covers skill development that helps you participate more independently over time, reducing the need for ongoing paid support.

Understanding which stream applies to your goals helps ensure your NDIS plan is structured in the most effective way

Activities We Support You To Access

Social Groups and Peer Connection

Social Groups and Peer Connection

We support participants to join local social groups, community clubs, and peer networks across Perth — building friendships and a genuine sense of belonging within the community.
Adaptive Sports and Recreation

Adaptive Sports and Recreation

Physical activity improves both mental and physical wellbeing. We assist participants to access adaptive sports programmes, fitness activities, and outdoor recreation across Western Australia, with support tailored to their ability and comfort level.

Arts, Music and Creative Programmes

Creative activities build communication skills, confidence, and self-expression. We support participants to engage in art workshops, music programmes, drama groups, and other creative community activities available across Perth and WA.
Volunteering and Community Contribution

Volunteering and Community Contribution

Volunteering builds work-readiness skills, expands social networks, and gives participants a meaningful role in their community. We help identify suitable volunteer opportunities in Perth that align with your interests and NDIS goals.

Educational and Skill-Building Programmes

Community courses and workshops offer a practical way to develop new skills and connect with others. We support participants across Western Australia to access community college programmes, cooking classes, and other structured learning opportunities.

How True Path Care Supports Your Participation

Personalised Activity Planning
We take the time to understand your interests, goals, and comfort level — then identify activities across Perth and WA that genuinely suit you. Support is never one-size-fits-all.

Support Worker Accompanied Outings

Our trained support workers accompany participants to activities — providing physical assistance, social prompts, and encouragement throughout. We advocate for reasonable adjustments with community organisations to ensure you are welcomed and included.

Transport Assistance

Getting there is half the challenge. We assist in transport services to and from community activities across Perth — ensuring unreliable or inaccessible transport never becomes a barrier to participation.

Building Confidence and Independence Over Time

Our long-term goal is always greater independence. We use a gradual, scaffolded approach — supporting participants more intensively at first, then stepping back as confidence and skills grow. Progress is tracked and celebrated at every stage.

NDIS Funding For Social and Community Participation

Under Community Access and Participation, your NDIS funding in Western Australia may cover:

  • Support worker assistance during community activities
  • Transport to and from activities across Perth and WA
  • Participation in social groups, clubs, and community events
  • Adaptive sports and recreation programmes
  • Arts, music, and creative community programmes
  • Volunteering and supported community placements
  • Educational workshops and community courses
  • Skill-building for greater independent participation

Why Community Participation Matters

Research by the National Disability Insurance Agency confirms that social and community participation gives participants a sense of belonging and connection, deeper relationships with friends and family, larger social networks, reduced isolation, and greater confidence in everyday community life.

For participants in Perth and across WA, consistent community engagement also opens pathways to employment, further education, and broader opportunities. The right support removes barriers and keeps them that way.

Is This Assistance Right for You?

Community access and participation support is available to NDIS participants in Perth and across Western Australia who want to engage more actively in their community. It suits participants of all ages and ability levels, from those just starting out in community life to those working towards greater independence.

If your NDIS plan does not yet include this support, please speak with your planner or Local Area Coordinator (LAC) at your next review. Our Perth team can help you document your community participation goals and present a clear case for funding.

FAQ

What are you looking for?

Activities are based entirely on your interests and goals. Participants across Perth engage in everything from adaptive sports and arts programmes to social clubs, volunteering, and community courses. We work with you to find options that are genuinely meaningful and locally accessible in WA.

Community Access and Participation focuses on supporting you to attend and engage in existing community activities. Innovative community participation goes further — focusing on creative, capacity-building approaches that develop skills and independence through tailored community engagement. Both can complement each other within your NDIS plan.



Yes. Transport to and from community activities can be funded as part of your community access and participation support — particularly where lack of transport is a barrier to participation. Speak with your NDIS planner about including this in your plan.

Raise it as a goal with your NDIS planner or local area coordinator at your next plan review. Be specific about the activities you want to access and why participation is important to your goals. Our Perth team can help you prepare by documenting your community participation needs and linking them to your NDIS outcomes.
