Community Participation

The term ‘Community Participation’ in the context of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) pertains to the facilitation and provision of support to NDIS participants, enabling them to engage in a variety of social, leisurely, and community-based activities. The fundamental aim of such participation is to advocate for inclusion and active engagement of individuals with disabilities within their local communities.
