Community Access & Participation

Support to Get Out, Take Part and Stay Connected

Experienced Support. Genuine Connection. Your Life, Your Way.

Being part of your community is an important part of everyday life.

Whether it's running errands, attending an activity, enjoying a hobby or simply getting out and about, having the right support alongside you can make community participation more comfortable and enjoyable.

I'm Samuel, an independent support worker with more than 9 years of experience.

Through Samuel G Support, I provide community access support built around your interests, confidence and individual circumstances.

What Is Community Access?

Community access, sometimes called community participation — or, in NDIS plans, assistance with social and community participation — is support to help a person take part in activities and places outside the home.

It can be as practical as getting to an appointment or as social as joining an activity, visiting a local place or taking part in something you enjoy.

The focus is on participation, confidence and connection, at a pace that suits you.

Ways Community Access Can Help

Depending on your circumstances, community access support may include:

Shopping & Errands

Support with grocery shopping, personal shopping and running appropriate errands.

Appointments

Assistance getting to and preparing for appropriate appointments and activities.

Activities & Hobbies

Taking part in recreational activities, hobbies and interests you enjoy.

Community Events

Attending appropriate local events and social activities.

Getting Out & About

Walks, outings and exploring local places with support alongside you.

Social Connection

Support to visit friends and family or take part in group activities.

The support available depends on your individual circumstances and the services I am able to provide.

Building Confidence in the Community

For some people, getting out into the community can feel challenging. Having someone reliable alongside can make it easier. Support can help you:

Feel more comfortableHaving a familiar person alongside can make outings less daunting.
Build confidenceEncouragement and support at your own pace, where appropriate.
Stay connectedContinuing to take part in activities and relationships that matter to you.

Support That Follows Your Interests

Community access isn't a fixed program. What it looks like depends entirely on what's meaningful to you.

For one person it might be a regular coffee and a walk. For another it might be getting to appointments, joining a local activity or simply having support to feel confident getting out and about. The activity should always be something that matters to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is community access support?

Community access support helps a person take part in activities and places outside the home, such as shopping, appointments, hobbies, events and social activities, based on their interests and circumstances.

What activities can community access include?

It may include shopping and errands, appointments, recreational activities and hobbies, community events, outings and social connection, depending on your circumstances.

Can community access help me build confidence?

Yes. Where appropriate, having a reliable, familiar person alongside can help you feel more comfortable and confident participating in the community at your own pace.
