Understanding Community Access Support

What is it?

Community access support refers to the provision of services and resources that enable individuals to participate fully in their local communities. This can include assistance with accessing community-based programs, events, and services. It also provides support and guidance to help individuals overcome any barriers to participation.

What Types Of Supports Are Available?

Types of supports available can include things like:

  • visiting your friends and family
  • active hobbies, such as bike riding, skiing or kayaking
  • playing sport, such as tennis, surfing or basketball
  • going out, for instance to the movies or a concert
  • going places for fun, such as shopping or visiting a museum
  • relaxing, like meditation or yoga
  • learning new skills, like dance, art classes or quilting.

There are a number of helpful online tools to help you further understand this type of NDIS support. We find the NDIS government “Our Guidelines” website in particular is a great resource for anyone to get started in understanding social and recreational support services.
