Social and recreation support
Social and recreation activities are an important part of life for many people. You may be able to enjoy these activities independently, or with support from friends, family and the community.
If you need extra help to participate in social and recreation activities because of your disability, we may be able to fund this. You’ll still need to pay for the general costs of your social and recreation activities.
This means you’ll pay for things like membership, basic equipment or entrance fees. These are costs that everyone has to pay for.
When we say disability support needs, we mean supports you need for the impairments that meet the disability or early intervention requirements, or both.
When we say ‘your plan’ we mean your NDIS plan. If you’re looking for information about community connections, go to Our Guideline – Community connections.
If you’re looking for information about your child’s early connections, go to Our Guideline – Early connections.
