Community Access Brisbane
Connect, Participate, and Thrive in Your Brisbane Community
Community access support opens doors to meaningful participation in everyday life. At Neighbourly Community Care, we provide personalised community access services throughout Brisbane, helping NDIS participants build independence, develop social connections, and engage with their community in ways that matter to them.
Whether you’re looking to reconnect with old interests, explore new activities, or simply feel more confident getting out and about, our experienced support workers are here to make it happen safely and enjoyably.
What is Community Access Support?
Community access support, also known as community participation, is an NDIS service designed to help people with disabilities engage more fully in community life. This support falls under the NDIS funding category “Assistance with Social and Community Participation” and focuses on building your independence while helping you access activities, services, and social opportunities in your local area.
Unlike other NDIS supports that might focus on daily personal care or therapy, community access is all about getting you out into the world – participating in the activities you enjoy, meeting new people, and building the confidence to navigate your community independently.
Benefits of Community Access Support in Brisbane
Building Independence and Confidence Each community outing becomes an opportunity to practice decision-making, communication, and problem-solving in real-world settings.
Developing Social Connections Community activities create opportunities to meet like-minded people and build meaningful relationships that extend beyond scheduled support times.
Improving Mental Health and Wellbeing Regular community participation reduces isolation and provides purpose, structure, and enjoyment to your week while supporting overall mental health.
