Community Access Services

Reconnect, Participate, Belong.

Isolation shouldn’t be part of anyone’s care journey. At Connecting Palms, we help people with disabilities and older Australians reclaim their place in the world with tailored community participation services. Whether it's a weekly outing, a group activity, or one- on-one support to build confidence, our team is here to make participation safe, fun, and accessible.

We don’t just organise activities — we open doors.

From local clubs to volunteer opportunities, social events to skill-building workshops, our programs are designed to help you feel connected, valued, and independent in your community. 

Why Community Access Matters

Connection is more than conversation — it’s a basic human need. Our social support programs are built to ensure that clients stay engaged in life, even when physical or cognitive challenges create barriers.

We support:

• Individuals living with disability who need help engaging in community activities

• Older adults seeking friendship, purpose, and stimulation

• Families looking for trusted providers to offer meaningful, structured social opportunities

Our programs offer more than company — they offer confidence. With a focus on personal choice, safety, and enjoyment, Connecting Palms makes social inclusion easy and enriching. 

What Our Community Access Services Include

These group settings help improve communication skills, reduce loneliness, and build peer relationships in a safe and supported environment.
