Assistance with daily life tasks in a group or shared living arrangement

Under the NDIS, NDIS community activities fall under Capacity Building supports and are aimed at promoting inclusion, skill-building, and active involvement in everyday community life. These services help clients:

• Develop confidence in public and social settings

• Learn how to interact and collaborate with others

• Explore hobbies, interest groups, and local events

• Contribute through volunteering or civic engagement

At Connecting Palms, we make participation a joyful and empowering experience, not just an appointment. 

What We Offer

1. Personalised Community Access Planning

We start with a plan built around your goals. Whether you’re interested in joining a local club, trying a new activity, or attending regular events, we guide you through a personalised roadmap.

Our team helps you discover what’s out there and feel confident saying “yes” to new opportunities.

 2. Social Engagement Programs

Our social engagement programs help individuals develop friendships and communication skills through:

• Supported group outings

• Café meetups, arts & crafts sessions, and music groups

• Community markets, festivals, and group dining experiences

3. Civic Inclusion Support

We support individuals who want to contribute through:

• Engaging in cultural and faith-based events

This is civic inclusion support in action — promoting empowerment, purpose, and a sense of belonging.
