How providers are verified
When you refer a participant through MD Home Care, you are referring to a provider cross-checked against the official Australian registers. Here is what is verified before a provider appears in the directory.
NDIS register cross-check
Every NDIS-registered provider listed is verified against the NDIS Commission register. Registration numbers and approved support groups are pulled from the official register, not self-declared.

Aged care approved status reflects the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care approved provider list, including service types and category groups.

Every listing includes an Australian Business Number. Providers without a valid, active ABN do not appear in our directory.

If you or a participant has a concern, the NDIS Commission handles complaints about NDIS providers and the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission handles aged care complaints. We also accept complaints via our own channel.

Community and Social Participation covers support for NDIS participants to engage in social, community, and civic activities. This includes one-on-one community access, social skill building, group outings, and support to attend appointments and activities. Providers must hold the Participation in Community, Social and Civic Activities registration group.
With 328 providers across all states and territories, community and social participation is a specialist registration group. Provider availability varies by location, so check suburb-level results for accurate coverage.

What Community and Social Participation Covers
The Community and Social Participation registration group includes the following services. When referring, match the specific service type to the participant's plan goals and funded line items.
One-on-One Community Access
Individual support to attend community activities, appointments, social events, shopping, and recreational activities. The worker accompanies the participant and provides the level of support needed to participate.
Social Skill Building
Structured support to develop social skills, build relationships, and increase confidence in social settings. Often combined with community access activities.
Community Group Activities
Supported participation in existing community groups, clubs, and programs. The worker helps the participant engage rather than running a separate disability-specific program.
Appointment Support
Assistance attending medical appointments, government services, and other community appointments. Includes support during the appointment and transport where funded.
Common Referral Scenarios
Real-world situations where you would refer a participant for community and social participation.
A participant's goal is to join a local sports club but needs initial support to attend sessions, learn the routines, and build relationships with other members. Refer to a provider who focuses on community inclusion rather than segregated activities.
A participant with psychosocial disability is socially isolated and needs regular community outings to build confidence. Start with 1:1 support and work toward reducing support hours as the participant becomes more independent.
A participant wants to volunteer at a local organisation. Refer to a community participation provider who can support the initial setup, training period, and gradual withdrawal of support.
What to Expect After Referral
Good community participation providers start by understanding the participant's interests, goals, and current social networks. They then identify appropriate community activities and develop a plan for building independence over time. Expect the provider to document progress toward participation goals, not just log hours of support delivered.
Red Flags to Watch For
Warning signs that a community and social participation provider may not be delivering quality services.
Provider running only segregated, disability-specific group activities rather than supporting community inclusion
No plan for reducing support over time as the participant builds skills
Activities chosen based on provider convenience rather than participant interests
No goal tracking or progress documentation
Provider billing community access hours when the participant is actually attending a group centre program
How Community and Social Participation Works with Other Supports
Community Participation connects with Transport (getting to and from activities), Daily Personal Activities (personal care support during outings), and Employment (community participation can be a stepping stone toward employment). Consider whether the participant's community access goals could be better achieved through Innovative Community Participation if traditional approaches are not working.

Referral Tips for Community and Social Participation
Match the participant's interests and goals with the provider's program offerings. Ask about group sizes, staff-to-participant ratios, and whether the provider can accommodate specific needs (mobility, communication, behavioural). For participants building independence, look for providers that offer a graduated support model with decreasing hours over time.
