GNA Services provides NDIS community participation support to help you connect with people, access your community and take part in social, recreational and interest-based activities. Support is shaped around your goals, preferences and NDIS plan, with service availability discussed for participants across Australia.
From social outings to skill-building programs, discover the many ways you can connect with your community.
Community participation is about more than just getting out of the house. It's about building a life filled with meaning, friendship, and new experiences. Research shows that social connection improves mental health, builds confidence, and enhances overall quality of life.
Social connection reduces isolation and supports mental health.
Meet people who share your interests and values.
Try new activities and discover hidden talents.
Build confidence navigating your community.

Depending on your plan, assistance with social and community participation may be available through Core Supports. Capacity Building funding for Increased Social and Community Participation may support skill-building, social connection and greater independence. Your available funding and support must match your NDIS plan and current NDIS rules.
Support may be provided individually or through suitable group activities. The right option depends on your goals, preferences, NDIS funding, support needs and what is available in your area.
Not automatically. Depending on your NDIS plan and circumstances, transport may involve separate transport funding, recurring transport supports or agreed activity-based transport. GNA Services can explain the transport arrangements that apply before support begins.
Assistance with social and community participation can support activities such as community groups, hobbies, recreation, sport, volunteering or other social activities related to your goals. Your NDIS funding generally covers eligible disability-related support rather than ordinary personal costs that everyone would normally pay for an activity.
GNA Services accepts enquiries from participants across its Australian service areas, including Western Australia and New South Wales. The website lists locations in Perth, Kalgoorlie, Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. Community participation availability varies by area, so contact the team with your suburb and support needs to confirm current options.
