Community access is one of the most valuable supports available under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). It focuses on helping participants engage in meaningful social, recreational and community activities that enhance independence and well-being.
At Apex Support, we believe that every individual deserves the opportunity to connect with their community, explore new experiences and build confidence in daily life. Our tailored NDIS community access services in Melbourne and Hobart are designed to make that possible.
What Is Community Access?
Community access refers to assistance provided to NDIS participants so they can actively take part in their communities. It can include a wide range of activities – from attending social events and joining hobby groups to visiting libraries, going shopping or learning new skills.
The goal is to promote inclusion, independence and a sense of belonging. Through personalised community access support, participants can enjoy a balanced lifestyle that nurtures both social and emotional well-being.
What Does Community Access Support Involve?
Every person’s community access journey is unique. Apex Support works closely with participants to design flexible programs that reflect their interests, goals, and support needs.
Some of the ways we assist include:
- Attending community and recreational events
- Visiting local parks, museums, or fitness centres
- Participating in educational or skill-building workshops
- Joining social or cultural groups
- Assistance with transport and mobility support
Our experienced support workers ensure participants feel confident, safe, and respected in every activity they pursue.
