Being part of the community is about more than attending activities—it’s about feeling welcome, confident, and connected. At NewAura Disability Services in Blackett, our Community Participation & Access support helps NDIS participants engage with everyday community life in ways that feel comfortable, purposeful, and enjoyable.
This service is ideal for participants who want support to explore interests, develop social confidence, or reconnect with their local community while maintaining choice and control.
What Community Participation Looks Like at NewAura
Community participation means different things to different people. Our role is to support participants in accessing activities that reflect their interests, goals, and personal pace—not to direct or rush participation.
Support may involve:
- Accompaniment to social, cultural, or recreational activities
- Assistance accessing local community spaces and events
- Support to join groups, clubs, or structured programs
- One-on-one encouragement during community outings
- Help building familiarity with public environments
Participants decide how and where they engage, with support adjusted as confidence grows.
A Focus on Comfort, Confidence, and Choice
Many participants experience anxiety or uncertainty in social or public settings. Our support workers provide calm, consistent encouragement, helping participants feel safe and supported without pressure.
Through gentle guidance, participants can:
- Feel more at ease in community spaces
- Improve communication in real-life settings
- Build trust in their ability to engage socially
- Develop routines that include community involvement
Progress is gradual and participant-led.
Skill Development Through Real-World Experiences
Community settings offer natural opportunities to develop important life skills. While out in the community, participants may practice:
- Social interaction and communication
- Planning and decision-making
- Time awareness and routine building
- Problem-solving in everyday situations
These experiences help strengthen independence beyond structured support environments.
