Planning your support
Choose community activities that feel right for you
A useful activity is one you want to take part in. Group and community support can create a setting for shared interests, everyday confidence and connection, with the level of assistance discussed around your own preferences.
Begin with an interest, not a timetable
Think about what you enjoy or would like to try: creative activities, a local outing, a shared meal, a hobby or a chance to meet people with similar interests. You can also say what does not appeal to you. There is no need to choose an activity simply because it is the first option suggested.
Tell us whether you prefer a quieter setting, a smaller group, a familiar routine or time to get to know people before joining in. These preferences help shape the discussion about an activity and the support needed to participate.
Plan the practical details of participation
Taking part comfortably may depend on transport, venue access, communication, personal routines and the length of the session. Explain these needs when you enquire so they can be considered before an activity is agreed. Ask what support is available during the activity and what arrangements are needed around it.
Discuss the proposed group setting and the level of individual assistance required. A group activity and one-to-one support are different arrangements. Confirm how your needs will be considered within the actual activity rather than relying on a general description of group support.
Agree what a good experience looks like
Progress does not have to mean a large change. You might want to feel comfortable arriving, start a conversation, make a choice during an activity or return to something you enjoy. Talk about the outcome that matters to you and how you would like feedback to be shared.
You should also be able to discuss an activity that is not working. Interests and confidence can change, and an arrangement may need adjusting. Agree who to contact about preferences, access issues, scheduling or a different approach.
Check the costs and the next step
Before agreeing to attend, ask what the support cost includes and whether there are separate activity costs, entry fees, meals or travel expenses. Those expenses should not be assumed to be covered by NDIS funding. Clarify how the proposed support relates to your plan and what you would pay yourself.
- Share your interests and preferred type of activity
- Explain your location and any transport requirements
- Discuss access, communication and personal support needs
- Ask about the proposed setting, schedule and current availability
- Confirm the support agreement and separate expenses before starting
Questions about Group and Community Activities
Can I suggest an activity rather than choose from a set program?
Yes. Start by explaining your interests and the experience you want. The discussion can then consider suitability, the support required and whether a practical arrangement is available.
Are entry fees and meals included in the support cost?
Do not assume they are. Ask for an explanation of support charges and any separate activity, meal, transport or entry costs before agreeing to attend.
Talk through your next step
Tell us your location, the support you are looking for and the best way to contact you. We can discuss the request, the information needed and current availability before an arrangement is agreed.
Planning group and community activities
When exploring group and community activities, start with the practical questions you want answered. Think about an activity you would enjoy and what would help you take part. The group, setting, pace and practical arrangements should make sense for the individual, rather than relying on the name of an activity alone.
- Describe the interests, social connections or skills you want to explore.
- Discuss group size, accessibility, communication, transport and support preferences.
- Ask what participation involves and which activity or other costs need clarification.
