Our Approach

Reach out and connect.

The NDIS encourages social and community participation for all people of different abilities — and Caring Hearts can make this a possibility for you.

Connecting with others and contributing to your community can have a genuinely positive impact on your growth and development. We help you find suitable activities and events, then support you to make the most of your unique talents. We take the time to understand how you'd like to participate in your local community, and make it happen.

There are plenty of activities that can enrich a participant's life, and we're here to help you find them — wherever you are in Australia. Participation in community, social and civic activities is a key tool for developing an NDIS participant's daily living and social skills.

Whether you're looking for creative ways to develop a skill, make new friends, or simply pick up a new hobby, our team at Caring Hearts can help you find and attend camps, after-hours community programs, and courses. We spend real time talking with participants to make sure the options we offer genuinely match their interests.

What Caring Hearts Do

Everyday support, built around real connection

Connecting with others is a vital and enriching part of life. For some people this can be a real challenge, and we help by giving participants opportunities to socialise and build their written and verbal social skills — in a patient, respectful and open setting.

Caring Hearts supports you throughout the week, including weekdays — it depends on your requirements and what you need to do with your time. Our innovative Community Participation service is designed to help NDIS participants build skills, showcase hidden talents, and actively contribute to their community. It also builds confidence and independence around other members of the community.

Why choose innovative community participation?

Caring Hearts believes that encouraging people with disability to take part in activities and programs like these nurtures personality, builds self-esteem, and improves both behaviour and attitude towards themselves and their lives. As a certified NDIS provider, we support both plan-managed and self-managed participants with innovative community participation.

Talk to your support worker or support coordinator, or contact Caring Hearts directly, to get started — we'll help you build the skills to contribute to your community with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about NDIS community participation

Examples include joining a sports club or gym, taking part in art, music or craft classes, volunteering locally, attending community events and festivals, visiting the library, and building social connections through group activities and outings.

NDIS funding for community participation can go toward support workers who help you attend activities, transport to and from events, and building skills that let you take part more independently over time — all guided by the goals in your individual plan.

The NDIS generally won't fund the entry cost of an activity itself (such as club memberships, tickets or gym fees), everyday living costs unrelated to disability support, or activities not connected to your plan's goals. Your support coordinator can confirm exactly what's covered in your plan.

Participants often build confidence, communication and social skills, form new friendships, discover talents and hobbies, and gain a stronger sense of independence and belonging in their local community.
