Community Participation
Experiencing Your Community, Your Way
Community participation is about having the freedom and support to enjoy the people, places and experiences that matter to you. At CCLO Living, we provide personalised support to help you connect with your local community, pursue your interests and discover new opportunities. Whether you want to spend time with family and friends, learn a new skill, join a local activity or try something completely different, our team will support you to participate in ways that reflect your goals, interests and choices. Your community. Your interests. Your way.

Community Participation and the NDIS
Community participation support may be funded under the Assistance with Social, Economic and Community Participation category in your NDIS plan. This funding can help cover the additional support you need to participate in activities, develop new skills and connect with your community. However, everyday activity costs are generally not covered by the NDIS. This means you may need to pay for expenses such as memberships, equipment, tickets or entry fees. If you are unsure about your funding or the support available to you, our team can help. Our support coordinators, occupational therapist and clinical team can work with you to understand your options and connect you with the right services. Ready to get involved?
