If you’re living with disability, you know that community participation is one of the most important aspects of your life.

After all, we’re all part of a community: from our friends and family to our jobs and hobbies—we’re constantly interacting with others in some way. And this is especially true for people who have disabilities. In fact, under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), one of the main goals is to help people with disabilities become more active in their communities.

Innovative community involvement programs under NDIS are primarily intended to enhance community participation via social activities or welfare programs. These programs aim to promote the personal and professional well being of individuals in terms of employment, health, education, income, and life satisfaction. Whether you’re driving to your doctor’s appointment or doing your regular tasks, social interaction and community participation NDIS are important aspects of NDIS participants.
