Innovative Community Participation

Redefining Connection, Confidence, and Purpose in the Community

At Connecting Palms, we don’t just connect people to places — we connect them to purpose. Our innovative community support services go beyond traditional group outings. We focus on building skills, confidence, and real-world engagement that empowers clients to participate meaningfully in the communities they live in.

These programs are perfect for individuals ready to move beyond basic social support and explore new pathways through creativity, volunteering, leadership, training, and active contribution.

With a strong track record in community participation in Queensland, South Australia, and Victoria, we’re here to open doors — and support every step through them. 

What Is Innovative Community Participation?

Innovative community participation under the NDIS is about enabling individuals with disabilities to access community experiences in new and transformative ways. It includes:

• Skill-building for employment or volunteer opportunities

• Mentoring and peer development

• Creative and entrepreneurial activities

• Independent travel training and exploration

• Connection to unique community integration programs

At its core, it’s about fostering inclusion, building networks, and creating independence in life and community.
