Individual Social & Community Participation
Social and recreational access supports. We provide support workers to help you get out and take part in community activities, hobbies, or events, with a focus on social inclusion.
Individual Social & Community Participation
Life is meant to be shared, enjoyed, and actively lived. Our Community Participation services provide you with friendly, consistent support workers who share your interests, ensuring social outings are fun, safe, and engaging.
Expanding Your Social Circle
Whether you want to try a new hobby or revisit a favorite pastime, our team supports you to:
- Join Local Clubs: Find and participate in hobby networks, Men’s Sheds, choirs, or sport associations.
- Access Recreational Spots: Go swimming, visit botanical gardens, read at the library, or work out at the gym.
- Maintain Social Bonds: Arrange transport and companionship so you can regularly visit family members or grab coffee with friends.
Key Goal
To reduce social isolation, build friendships, pursue hobbies, engage with the local community, and improve mental well-being.
