Community Inclusion
Explore Interests. Find New Ways to Connect.
Innovative community participation can help a person explore ways to take part in community life. The right approach starts with their interests, goals and support needs.
Care Camp Australia welcomes enquiries in Melbourne and across Victoria. Tell us what you would like to explore and what support may help.
Explore new community opportunities
Innovative community participation is an NDIS support item linked to new ways for people with disability to join community life. The current NDIS Support Catalogue describes the item as support for mainstream services that promote inclusion and expand opportunities for participation and employment.
NDIS community participation support should reflect the person’s disability support needs and goals. It must also meet current NDIS rules.
