What are the benefits of Social and Community participation?

We know how important it is to stay connected to the things you love and the people who matter most.

This not only helps you to feel connected to other like-minded people and your community, but can help with your overall wellbeing.

Focusing on your wellbeing is one of our priorities, particularly if it’s one of the goals you’re looking to achieve as part of your NDIS Plan.

The Productivity Commission reported Community Participation :

Leads to enhance wellbeing outcomes for people with disabilities and their carers (in terms of health outcomes, employment outcomes, education outcomes, income and life satisfaction).

Lessens long-term care and support costs for people with disabilities, and may prevent people with limited needs for disability care and support from having more expensive care and support services.

Examples provided by the NDIS of support that can be funded include:

Universal recreational activities: A limited number of lessons could be sponsored to encourage a pupil to try out an activity and to test their skill and interest in further pursuing this activity – such as horse riding, painting, dance or singing classes

Funding to attend an “activity camp” or groups that build a person’s relationship skills and offer a range of activities and opportunities to explore wider interests.

Other items or adjustments such as customised tools required because of the person’s disability, could also be funded. An example of this is if you wanted to play all abilities golf and needed to buy an adapted golf club to play. Or you wanted to do a drumming class and needed to buy an adapted glove to allow you to grip the drumsticks.
