NDIS Social and Community Participation Gold Coast

Get involved in your community with our Social & Community Participation support. Our team helps you access necessary services and engage in local activities that matter to you. We’re here to support your goals, whether it’s learning new skills, staying healthy, or managing daily tasks in the community.

What is NDIS Social and Community Participation?

NDIS Social and Community Participation opens doors for participants to join in activities and connect with their local community—anything from creative workshops to local events, fitness groups, or volunteering. This support is about more than getting out and about; it’s about belonging, growing, and building confidence in community settings.
At SS Disability Care, we help you discover what matters to you—finding opportunities, planning outings, and making each experience enjoyable and accessible. Every support is tailored to your choices, interests, and goals—because participation should feel as individual as you are.
Social and Community Participation is typically funded under Core Supports in your NDIS plan. We work side by side with participants, families, and support networks to make sure each activity fits your aspirations, budget, and needs—ensuring every step is supported, safe, and meaningful.

How We Help You Engage in NDIS-Funded Social & Community Participation Activities

Attending Local Events

We help you discover events you’re interested in—festivals, shows, expos, or community celebrations—take care of planning and tickets, arrange safe transport, and accompany you throughout the event so you can participate fully and confidently.

Participating in Sport, Swimming, or Fitness Classes

Whether you want to try a fitness class, join a swimming program, or take part in adaptive sports, we assist you to select appropriate programs, handle the admin, and ensure the venue is suitable. Support workers accompany you, help you use facilities safely, and encourage your progress—always at your comfort level.

Taking Part in NDIS-Funded Day Trips or Supported Holidays

We coordinate all logistics for your trip—from destination choice and bookings to travel, packing, and accessibility. A support worker assists you during the trip or holiday, providing supervision, personal care, and encouragement. We ensure your experience is safe, joyful, and tailored to your needs.

Visiting Libraries, Recreational Centres, or Community Spaces

We make sure you can access public spaces like libraries, leisure centres, or community hubs. Our team helps with memberships, accessing facilities, overcoming barriers, and navigating unfamiliar locations—offering as much (or as little) support as you want during your visit.

Attending Art, Music, or Cooking Classes

Our team discovers accessible classes in your area and helps with enrolment and payment if required. We transport you to the venue, support you throughout the activity (including setup or participation), and assist with any communication or accessibility needs—so you can focus on having fun and learning.

Attending Medical Appointments

Navigating health appointments can be challenging, but you don’t have to do it alone. We organise transport to and from your GP, specialist, or therapy sessions, assist with check-in and paperwork, and stay with you in the waiting room or accompany you during the consultation if needed.
