How Community Participation Works
How Community
Participation Works
Sublime Care strongly encourages participants to actively engage in the community. This is crucial for physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development. Community engagement can be meaningful and is important to feel a sense of connectedness to the world around you.
Sublime Care can support you to attend/participate in:
- Community Events or Shows
- Hobbies and leisure activities such as the Cinema
- Cultural/ religious meetings, gatherings, or worship
- Medical Appointments
- Support programs such as swimming lessons, gym, or sports
- Shopping
- Community Centre
- Eating out
These supports are examples of community, social or recreational activities. These may be provided in a centre or in community settings at standard or higher intensity rates. We ensure that each event or activity is aligned appropriately depending on the participant’s individual needs.

Community Participation as Core Support or Capacity Building in an NDIS Plan
A participant’s NDIS Plan may contain one of two forms of community participation funds. Funding for community engagement that falls under the category of “Core Supports” can contract a support worker. This is to assist participants in engaging in social, professional, and community activities community participation under “Capacity Building.” This type of funding is used for training and development activities that assist individuals to integrate into the community and gain independence.

The NDIS actively engages and connects with people in local communities across Australia. This ensures that they are sharing relevant and timely information about the Scheme and what is changing. They actively coordinate with people around the country, at NDIA information and consultation meetings, disability expos, in person and online. The feedback that NDIS gather is used to help stakeholders to be aware and encouraged to participate in any ongoing social or community events.
