The Benefits of Social and Community Participation under the NDIS

“Connection is why we’re here; it gives purpose and meaning to our lives.” – Brené Brown.
Feeling left out or disconnected is a reality for many NDIS participants. Without the right support, opportunities for social engagement and community involvement remain out of reach, leading to frustration, loneliness, and lost potential.
Joining NDIS social and community participation is a solution to participants' isolation and feelings of loneliness.
Group activities and social initiatives help participants break barriers, form friendships, and gain confidence. We humans are social animals, and we subconsiously love to build connections with like-minded people.
An NDIS provider helps you with various social and community participation activities. It’s more than just joining a group; it’s about belonging, growing, and thriving in your community.
In today's blog, we’ll find the key
benefits of NDIS Community Participation and how
Marble Care help you claim with unconditional support.
What is NDIS Community Participation?
Living a bigger life is more the purpose of community participation than just attending the activities. It's about breaking routines, building confidence, and feeling connected and full of purpose.
Under the NDIS, this support sits within the “Social and Community Participation” category, and it’s funded through two key areas:
- Core Supports, for hands-on help to join everyday social or community activities, from local events to hobby groups and outings.
- Capacity Building Supports, for developing the skills and confidence to participate independently, whether it’s volunteering, learning something new, or joining a club.

Who needs it?
- Feel
isolated or disconnected and want to rebuild social confidence.
- Wish to
make new friends and form meaningful community connections.

learn new skills or explore hobbies that bring joy and independence.
- They are excited to
volunteer or give back to their community.
- Need support to
