What this service covers

Structured activities that build connection and confidence.

Group and centre-based activities give participants a chance to build social connections, try new activities and be part of a community setting alongside others, with support on hand. This might include group outings, structured social programs, or centre-based sessions focused on shared interests and skill-building — all with a support worker present to help participants engage comfortably and safely.

For many participants, this kind of support is about more than the activity itself. It's a chance to practise social skills, build routine and independence, and simply enjoy time with others in a setting that feels safe and well supported.

Who this support suits

This service suits participants who want more social connection and community involvement in their week, people building confidence in group settings, and anyone whose plan goals include social participation, skill development or reducing isolation. It also suits families looking for structured, supported activities that give a participant a positive, engaging routine.

What a typical session looks like

Sessions are built around the group or activity a participant is joining — this could be a community outing, a structured centre-based program, or a smaller social activity. A support worker is present throughout to help the participant engage, manage any support needs that come up, and make sure the experience feels comfortable and worthwhile.

How this fits into an NDIS plan

Group and centre-based activities are typically funded under Core Supports (Social and Community Participation) in an NDIS plan. We can talk through what kind of group or centre-based support might suit your goals and how it could fit your current funding, for both plan-managed and self-managed participants.
