Introduction to NDIS Innovative Community Participation

The NDIS Innovative Community Participation program provides Capacity Building support which enables participants to learn critical life skills and social abilities that will help them achieve independence throughout their lives. The support provides more than funding for social activities because it delivers structured programs which develop confidence and communication skills and actual life abilities. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) supports this initiative through its Capacity Building Supports category which aims to achieve active community inclusion for all members of society. Through NDIS Innovative Community Participation, participants can strengthen their independence, expand social networks, and work toward employment readiness.
