Community participation

Get out and do more of what you enjoy, with a support worker who helps you get there and take part.

What this support can include

  • Getting to and joining activities, classes and groups
  • Sport, the gym and recreation
  • Volunteering and community events
  • Catching up with friends
  • Weekday, evening and weekend support, subject to availability

Who it suits

People who want support to take part in community, social and recreational activities, where this is funded in their plan.

How it works with your plan

In the NDIS Pricing Schedule, these supports sit under Assistance with Social, Economic and Community Participation (Core).

Whether your plan includes funding for this support is up to the NDIA. If you're not sure, call us and we'll talk it through.

Who delivers your support

Your support is delivered by a support worker who works with ARG Care, either directly or under contract. Either way, they work under ARG Care's NDIS registration and we remain responsible for the support you receive.

Questions people ask

Does the support worker pay for activities?

No. Activity costs, like entry fees or memberships, are usually paid by you. Your plan funds the support worker's time. We'll explain any travel or vehicle costs before support starts.

Can I choose a worker with similar interests?

Yes. Tell us what you enjoy and we'll look for someone who's a good fit.

Tell us what you need
