Community Access | NDIS Support
Getting out. Getting connected.
What community access looks like
Support shaped around the participant.
Sport & Futsal
Soccer at the local oval. Futsal. Basketball. Gym sessions. Movement first, conversation second.
Day Trips & Adventure
Drives, fishing, sporting events, getting out of the postcode. For many, the first time in years.
Social Connection
Joining a local team, attending community events, building friendships in pro-social spaces.
Gym & Fitness
Partnered boxing, PT sessions, regular gym visits. Structured fitness that builds confidence.
