Living a full life means being a part of your community. It’s about connecting with people, exploring your interests, and doing the things you love. At Humanity Care, our NDIS Community Participation services are designed to support you in doing just that.
We provide a trained support worker to assist you in accessing social and recreational activities in Adelaide. Whether you want to join a sports team, take an art class, or simply visit the local library, our team is here to make it happen.
This service, funded under your NDIS plan (usually Core Supports or Capacity Building), provides one-on-one support from a support worker to help you participate in activities outside your home.
This is not just a transport service. Your support worker is your companion and assistant for the activity. They are there to:
We support you in pursuing your interests. Your goals are our goals. We can help you get involved in:
| Activity Category | Examples of Support in Adelaide |
|---|---|
| Social & Recreation | Attending a local community centre (e.g., at Glenelg or Modbury), joining a club, or going to the movies. |
| Sports & Fitness | Going to the gym, joining a local sports team, attending a swimming pool, or going for a supported walk. |
| Learning & Skills | Taking a TAFE course, joining a cooking class, or attending workshops at the local library. |
| Hobbies & Interests | Visiting an art gallery or museum, joining a gardening club, or attending a weekly art class. |
| Volunteering | We can support you in finding and participating in a volunteer role that you're passionate about. |
It all begins with a chat. What do you want to do? We’ll sit with you, your family, and your Support Coordinator to identify your goals. We’ll then research local Adelaide-based activities that match your interests.
A good community participation experience depends on the right “fit.” We’ll match you with a support worker who not only has the right skills but also shares your interests and has a personality that clicks with yours.
This service is a key part of the NDIS and is designed to prevent social isolation. It’s typically funded under two categories:
Our team can help you and your Support Coordinator determine the best way to use your funding to achieve your goals.
That’s completely fine! Our team is great at helping you explore your options. We can sit with you and find out what you’re interested in, then research different groups, classes, and activities in Adelaide that you could try.
Yes. The NDIS funds your support (the support worker’s time and transport). You are generally responsible for the activity cost itself, such as a movie ticket, a coffee, or a class entry fee. The NDIS does not cover your ticket or your support worker’s ticket.
Yes, this can be arranged. We can provide one-on-one support for you to attend a group holiday or even a personal trip. This requires careful planning to ensure all costs (like the support worker’s time, travel, and accommodation) are properly quoted and funded by your NDIS plan.
This is very common, and it’s exactly why we’re here. Our support workers are trained to help you ease into new social settings. They can start by just being by your side, and as you build confidence, they can help you start conversations and integrate with the group at your own pace.
