Social and Community Participation

We support participants to take part in the things that matter to them — community, culture, sport, learning, faith, family and friendships.

How we personalise this support

The participant chooses the activities. We plan the practical detail — transport, timing, access needs, who comes along and what support looks like once you are there.

Who delivers this support

  • NDIS Worker Screening where legally required for the role
  • Driver's licence and appropriate insurance where transport is part of the support
  • Induction covering safeguarding, consent and cultural safety

Ask us which checks and competencies apply to the worker being proposed for you.

Outcomes we work towards

  • Reduced isolation and stronger natural supports
  • Confidence to access community independently
  • Activities the participant actually chose

Funding and costs

Prices depend on the service, time, location and staffing, in line with current NDIS pricing rules. We explain proposed rates and any travel or cancellation charges before support begins, and include agreed costs in your service agreement.

IDIM Care provides supports to eligible NDIS participants. The funding arrangements we can accept depend on the service and how your plan is managed. Contact us and we will confirm whether we can support you.
