Active community participation helps people with disabilities to enhance their life skills and boost their morale. Various activities and events meant for community participation fosters social relationships and inclusiveness, and help with confidence-building. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides support for social and recreational activities which helps with the overall well-being and skill development of their participants. Eligible people with disabilities can access Assistance with Social and Community Participation under NDIS Core Supports budget.

Social activities and community participation are important in any individual’s life. But lack of accessibility and necessary support often prevents people with disabilities from taking an interest in community participation. So, to encourage their participation in local events and activities, service providers can make them accessible and inclusive by collaborating with the organizers, providing transportation and hiring competent disability support staff. Assistance with Social and Community Participation is the primary NDIS support through which participants can address their disability support needs while engaging in community participation. Under this support, a trained NDIS support worker will assist and accompany the participants to help them participate in the activities. Increased social and community participation is another NDIS-funded support under the Capacity Building budget which helps the participant develop the skills required to access their communities.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an important government- funded scheme which reshaped the way we approach disability support and provided a new perspective regarding independent living and the personal autonomy of people with disabilities. The NDIS provides direct funding to its participants to purchase support and services which enables them to participate fully in their community, achieve their goals and lead a life of their choice. The NDIS represents a major step towards a more inclusive society for individuals with disabilities and serves as an example of providing disability support without compromising on the choice and control of the participants.

The NDIS provides funding for support and services which assists people with disabilities to live independently, pursue education, find employment, overcome functional limitations and become active members of their community. Core Supports like Assistance with Daily Living as well as Assistance with Social and Community Participation foster inclusion by helping the participants to build social connections, reduce isolation, and promote a sense of belonging and independence, all of which are essential for leading a meaningful life. Capacity Building supports like Supported Independent Living, Support Coordination and Respite Support enable the participants to navigate the NDIS and equip them with essential skills necessary for pursuing their goals. There are many more NDIS support and services like this that foster inclusion and promote independence for people with disabilities.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) helps people with disabilities to pursue their goals and live independently as participating members of the community. The NDIS emphasizes the importance of giving individuals with disabilities control over the decisions that affect their lives, by providing them with support and services that are deemed ‘reasonable and necessary’, and allowing them to make choices about how those supports are used. Before providing funding, each participant’s goals and specific needs are assessed by the NDIS to determine which supports are reasonable and necessary for them.

The NDIS has very strict funding criteria or laws regarding what should be funded in a participant’s plan. The terms “reasonable and necessary” are often used to describe the types of supports and services that are eligible for funding under the scheme. Each support included in a participant’s NDIS must meet the criteria of being reasonable and necessary but they need to meet the same criteria as a group of supports as well. To be considered ‘reasonable and necessary’, the support or service must be directly related to a participant’s disability and it should be value for money, which means the prices are fair. Reasonable and necessary supports must have a good chance of being effective and beneficial for the participant to reach their goals. The informal and other government supports of the participant are also taken into account by the NDIS before making a decision on which supports are found to be reasonable and necessary.

Classy Life is a registered NDIS service provider and we understand the dynamic nature of the reasonable and necessary criteria. As the participant’s needs, goals and circumstances change over time, the support and services that they require should be adapted accordingly.
