Core supports · Assistance with Social, Economic and Community Participation

Community access and social participation

Registered NDIS provider 4-L3B1CJR. Equal Access Care supports NDIS participants Australia-wide, with offices in Melbourne and Brisbane. Our workers come to you.

Community participation is about doing the things you want to do, not following a pre-set activities timetable. A worker comes along so you can get out, see people and try new things.

Who it's for

This support suits participants who want to build a social life, get to activities and appointments, or spend more time in their community with someone alongside them. It's usually funded from the Core budget of an NDIS plan.

What's included

  • One-to-one support to attend activities, events and appointments
  • Support to join clubs, classes, gyms and community groups
  • Support getting to and from activities
  • Weekend and evening support, by arrangement
  • Support to keep in touch with family and friends

We start with what you enjoy, or want to try, and build from there. Workers are matched on shared interests where we can, so outings feel natural.

    We'll ask about goals, needs and what's in the plan.

  3. Fartun meets you

    Fartun meets the participant and family to talk through routines, preferences and anything that matters to you.

  4. We match consistent workers

    We look at what the person wants, such as gender, culture, language and personality, and aim for the same familiar faces each week. We keep you and your support coordinator updated as things progress.
