NDIS Support and Costs
Our NDIS social groups are funded through your NDIS plan, making it easier for you to participate in activities that foster social connections, personal growth, and community engagement. Depending on your NDIS funding, you may be able to access our social groups under different budget categories, ensuring you receive the right support to meet your goals.
Your NDIS plan may include funding under:
- Core Supports – Assistance with Social and Community Participation: This funding helps cover the costs of support workers, transport, and other necessary assistance that enables you to participate in social and recreational activities, build friendships, and engage in your community.
If you’re unsure about how your NDIS funding can be used to join our social groups, our team can help you navigate your plan and explore the best options to support your needs and goals. You can also learn more about Core Supports on the NDIS website.
Occasionally, a small out-of-pocket contribution may be required for activities like meals or entry fees. We keep costs as low as possible and always inform you of any additional expenses in advance.
