COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION

Under the NDIS, community activities have the ability to support people with a disability and unite them with the rest of the community. 


It’s a way for people to get out and about, meet new people and try new things. It can be anything from signing up for an art class, going to the movies or out to lunch, learning to play an instrument or many other activities. 


At Local Care Solutions, there are many ways for people to try different activities, it’s completely up to the participant and what they would like to try! 


In addition to joining clubs or partaking in new activities, we can also help participants to volunteer for worthy causes. 


Social and Community Participation services are funded under one of the following in an NDIS plan.

SKILLS BUILDING

Our supportive team assists participants in strengthening their skillsets, enabling more independence within the house, as well as out in the community. We help participants increase skills such as learning to cook, clean, go out banking and purchase groceries.


Capacity Building can pay for therapies or services that help improve someone’s independence, and builds on their skills. Capacity Building support packages can help build independence; funds can be used to purchase any approved individual support within a specific category; there is flexibility if you need to change what type of support you are receiving. 


There are nine Capacity Building support categories. Participants will not receive funding for all nine; the goals outlined in the NDIS plan determine the categories participants will receive funding for.

Coordination of Supports

This is support that connects you with informal, mainstream and funded supports so that participants can get the most out of their NDIS plan and make sure the supports is being delivered as promised.


There are three different layers of Coordination of Supports: Support Connection Short-term assistance, Support Coordination Ongoing support, and Specialist Support Coordination A time-limited service.

Physical wellbeing activities such as personal training sessions, and nutrition advice can help maintain a healthy lifestyle. These supports can be funded by the NDIS if health, physical and wellbeing difficulties are directly attributable to the disability.
