NDIS Group & Centre-Based Activities in Adelaide

NDIS Group & Centre-Based Activities in Adelaide

Connecting with others and sharing experiences are fundamental to a happy and fulfilling life. Our NDIS Group & Centre-Based Activities in Adelaide provide a safe, fun, and supportive environment for you to explore new hobbies, learn skills, and make lasting friendships.

Led by our trained support staff, these programs are designed to be inclusive and engaging. Whether you’re interested in art, cooking, sports, or simply socialising, our group activities offer something for everyone.

What Are Group & Centre-Based Activities?

This NDIS support (funded under Core Supports) brings participants together in a community setting, either at a dedicated centre or a local venue.

Unlike one-on-one “Community Participation,” the focus here is on shared experiences. You and other participants engage in planned activities together, facilitated by our support workers. This is a fantastic way to build your social skills and confidence in a structured, safe environment.

A Hub of Opportunity: What We Offer

Our programs are dynamic and often based on what our participants are interested in. We can run activities at a community hall, a local park, or a dedicated centre.

Activity Type Examples of Group Activities We Run
Life & Independent Skills Group cooking classes, budgeting workshops, gardening, and computer skills basics.
Creative & Arts Painting and craft workshops, music and jam sessions, drama groups, or a photography club.
Health & Wellbeing Group fitness classes (like yoga or light exercise), wellness workshops, and healthy cooking.
Social & Recreation Board game afternoons, movie days, trivia competitions, and group outings to local Adelaide attractions.
Our centre is a place of energy and friendship. It's amazing to watch people's confidence grow when they discover a new passion and share it with new friends.

Who is this Service For?

Our group activities are perfect for NDIS participants who want to:

  • Meet new people and make friends in a supportive setting.
  • Build social skills and confidence outside of their home.
  • Learn new skills in a fun, collaborative environment.
  • Have a structured and engaging way to spend their day.
  • Find an alternative to one-on-one support.

This service is a great way to reduce social isolation and become an active member of the community.

Are Group Activities Right for You?

  • Do you want to meet new people who share your interests?
  • Are you interested in learning a new skill in a group setting?
  • Do you feel socially isolated and want to get out of the house more?
  • Are you more comfortable in a structured program?
  • Do you want to build your confidence for social situations?

If you answered yes, joining one of our Adelaide group activities could be a perfect fit.

Understanding Your NDIS Funding

Group and Centre-Based Activities are most commonly funded under your Core Supports budget in the category: “Assistance with Social & Community Participation.”

The NDIS has different line items and price limits for group-based supports compared to one-on-one support. This can often be a more cost-effective way to use your NDIS funds to achieve your social goals.

Our team can work with you, your Support Coordinator, or Plan Manager to ensure the program costs are fully covered by your plan.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the ratio of support workers to participants?

The ratio varies depending on the activity and the support needs of the participants. For example, a simple social gathering might have a 1:4 ratio, while a cooking class might have a 1:2 or 1:3 ratio to ensure everyone gets the help they need. We always maintain ratios that are safe and provide a high-quality experience.

What if I'm shy or nervous about joining a group?

This is a very common feeling, and our staff are trained to help. We can introduce you to the group slowly, perhaps starting with a smaller group or a one-on-one chat with the facilitator. Our goal is to make you feel welcome and comfortable at your own pace.

Are transport and meals included?

This depends on the specific program. Sometimes, transport to and from the centre can be arranged and funded by your NDIS plan (see our Transport Assistance service). For activities like cooking classes, the cost of ingredients is often included. We will always provide a clear schedule and list of any extra costs before you sign up.

Where are your group activities held?

We run our activities in various locations across Adelaide to be as accessible as possible. This can include community centres, local halls, or dedicated activity centres. When you enquire, we can let you know the current locations and timetables.
