Date Posted: July 19, 2025

Building Real Connections Through Community

For many people with disability, being part of a community isn’t just about attending events—it’s about feeling welcomed, connected, and included.That’s where the NDIS support category Social and Community Participation comes in.At Access Logan Inc., we focus on more than just helping people show up—we help people belong. Through creative, peer-based initiatives, we make sure every participant can build real, lasting connections that align with their NDIS goals and personal aspirations.

What Is Social and Community Participation Under the NDIS?

Social and Community Participation is a funded support category under both:

  • Core Supports: for assistance to participate in community, social or recreational activities
  • Capacity Building: to develop skills to participate more actively in the community

This category can be used to help you:

  • Attend social events and activities
  • Take part in skill-building workshops
  • Get out and about in your local area
  • Build friendships and social confidence
  • Participate in group programs or special interest groups

The goal? Helping participants connect, grow, and thrive in the wider community.

What Does It Look Like at Access Logan?

At Access Logan Inc., we’ve created a network of social opportunities that are as diverse as our community. Our events are designed to meet people where they’re at—whether that’s attending your first group morning tea or joining a creative program to explore your passions.Some of our regular community-based participation events include:

☕ NDIS Morning Tea – First Monday of Every Month

Our welcoming morning teas provide a relaxed environment where NDIS participants, carers, and providers come together to connect, ask questions, and support each other. It's a chance to build friendships, learn more about your options, and feel part of something bigger.

🎉 Bingo Nights & Social Meetups

These light-hearted, inclusive events are all about having fun and gaining confidence in a social setting. With accessible venues and a warm, peer-supported vibe, you’ll always feel safe and encouraged.

🎨 Creative Programs & Art Classes

Our connection with Artz Academy means participants can join art groups where they explore colour, movement, and creativity in a supportive group environment. It’s perfect for participants with goals around expression, communication, and social interaction.
