Community access involves providing support to ensure you maintain connections with friends, family, and your favourite places, and to participate in local community events and activities. We focus on confidence, choice, and meaningful participation.
Maintain relationships with family and friends, and feel confident taking part in community life.
Access hobbies, sport, recreation, and local events with practical support along the way.
Travel training, social communication, money handling, planning and problem-solving.
Note: This service is typically funded under Assistance with Social & Community Participation (Core) or related Capacity Building categories.
People who want practical help to get out and about—staying connected with family and friends, joining groups, trying new activities, or attending appointments. Supports are tailored to your interests, goals, and routines.
Your plan reflects what matters to you. Here are common examples we support:
We discuss what you want to do and where you want to go—your pace, your preferences.
We set days, times, transport, budgeting, and any accessibility needs.
Your worker provides practical assistance, encouragement, and safety oversight.
We check what worked, build skills, and expand activities as confidence grows.
We work to your preferred transport—public transport, walking, or in-vehicle where appropriate—while following your risk strategies and safety plan. Our team communicates changes early and keeps families and coordinators in the loop as you prefer.
