“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.
  
  
• Want to 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 access local events, programs, or recreational activities.
  
  
• Want to live life beyond care, with purpose, belonging, and freedom.

At its core, community participation is for the NDIS participants who dream of living fully. If you live in Melbourne and are “looking for community programs near me”. Connect with us today.
