It is aimed at assisting individuals with disabilities to actively engage in their communities, develop social connections, and participate in meaningful activities. The specific supports and services provided under Social and Community Participation are determined based on the individual's goals, interests, and the impact of their disability on community participation.
It’s important to note that the NDIS focuses on promoting choice and control, allowing individuals to determine the types of social and community activities they wish to engage in.
The level and duration of support provided are tailored to the individual’s needs and goals, fostering their active participation and inclusion within their communities.
