Assistance with NDIS Social and Community Participation in Melbourne

Community participation in social gatherings and events is very important, more so for people with disabilities. It promotes positivity and builds lasting relationships. At Excel Care Group, we understand and recognise the importance of NDIS social and community participation for people with any form of disability. As such, we offer a range of community and social programs that help NDIS participants to interact with other people in a safe environment.

NDIS community participation is part of the core support and key skill-building activities. It is a key NDIS support activity and the NDIS funding covers the cost of transport to the event as well as the cost of attending the event with or without an assistant. Such community and social events are usually held outdoors or at an NDIS support centre.

People with disabilities are encouraged to actively participate in community NDIS programs as it brings in positive changes. It is also a significant step towards increasing society’s awareness of individuals with disabilities. NDIS participants benefit from such activities as it also helps them in learning new skills.
