What Social & Community Participation funds
Social & Community Participation is funded from your Core budget — the most flexible part of your plan — in most cases you can move funding between Core categories without a reassessment. It can pay for supports such as:
- Group activities
- 1:1 community access
- Recreation & hobbies
- Holiday & camp programs
- Skill-building outings
How to get Social & Community Participation in your NDIS plan
Which supports you receive is decided at your planning meeting or reassessment, based on your goals and assessed needs. To get social & community participation funded you generally need evidence showing how your disability affects daily life — often a report from an allied health professional. Because a support that isn’t in your plan usually can’t be added without a reassessment, raise everything you need before the plan is approved.
