Community participation is a cornerstone of many NDIS plans. Engaging with your local community helps build confidence, friendships, and a sense of belonging.
1. Start with your interests
Choose activities you genuinely enjoy — whether that's art classes, sports, volunteering, or social groups. Passion makes participation sustainable.
2. Use transport support
NDIS travel and transport assistance can help you get to community activities reliably. iHelp provides safe, dependable transport across Perth metro.
3. Try group activities
Group and centre-based activities offer structured social environments where you can meet others with shared interests.
4. Build at your own pace
There's no rush. Start with shorter outings and gradually increase as your confidence grows.
5. Work with a support worker
A dedicated support worker can accompany you, help with social interactions, and ensure you feel comfortable in new environments.
