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 in Rockingham.

1.

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.

2.

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.

3.

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

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.

What to Check Before Making a Referral

Registration Status

Verify the provider holds the correct NDIS registration group for community and social participation. Check the NDIS provider register if uncertain.

Service Area

Confirm the provider services Rockingham and surrounding areas. Some providers listed here cover the broader Perth region.

Availability and Waitlists

Ask about current waitlist times. For urgent referrals, check multiple providers simultaneously to find the fastest availability.

Cultural and Language Needs

Match the participant's cultural background and language preferences where possible. Ask providers about staff diversity and interpreter availability.

Cancellation Policy

Review the provider's short notice cancellation terms. Under the NDIS Price Guide, providers can charge up to 100% for cancellations within 2 business days.

Reporting and Communication

Agree on how the provider will report progress to you. Regular updates make your own progress reports and plan review preparation much easier.

Frequently Asked Questions

What NDIS funding covers community participation in Rockingham?
Community participation is funded under Core Supports (Assistance with Social and Community Participation). The weekday daytime rate is $67.56 per hour. This covers one-on-one or group support for social outings, community events, sporting activities, and other participation goals.
What should I check before referring for community participation?
Confirm the participant has funding in their Core Supports budget for social and community participation. Check the provider's programs match the participant's interests and goals. Ask about transport arrangements, cancellation policies, and how they report on goal progress.
Can I refer an NDIA-managed participant to an unregistered provider?
No. NDIA-managed participants can only use NDIS registered providers. If the participant is plan-managed or self-managed, they can use both registered and unregistered providers. Check the participant's plan management type before making a referral.
What should I do if there are no available providers in Rockingham?

How do I check if a provider is NDIS registered?
Check the NDIS Provider Register at provider.ndis.gov.au. Search by provider name or ABN. The register shows current registration status, registration groups, and any conditions on registration. Providers listed on MD Home Care display their NDIS registration status on their profile.
What information should I include when making a referral?
Include the participant's name (with consent), their NDIS plan number, the relevant line items and budget available, the service frequency needed, any specific requirements (cultural, language, gender preference), and your contact details as the referring coordinator. The more detail you provide, the faster the provider can assess whether they can accept the referral.
