Social & Community
Participation NDIS Support
What are Social and Community Participation services?
Social and Community participation services are about supporting people with a disability to take part in their community and to do things they enjoy. You might enjoy volunteering, learning about fossils, developing your talents as an artist or musician, learning to use public transport to get to places, seeing a band or hosting a BBQ.

Daily Living Skills
What are Daily Living Skills?
Daily Living Skills are the skills we use in everyday life. Skills like cooking, cleaning, using money, catching public transport, the list goes on! Supports with Daily Living Skills can help people with a disability learn to do these tasks on their own, as well as lend a hand when needed.

Can Kyabra staff come to my home?
Our Support Workers can come to your home for short periods of time to help you out with tasks such as morning and evening routines and much more. Our team can provide anywhere from several hours per week to several hours per day dependent on your plan and funding. We may need to do a Workplace Health and Safety check prior to coming in to your home. This will be done at the commencement of support or if you move.
Can Kyabra help me learn how to do these tasks on my own?
A large part of our service is helping you learn to do some, or even all, of these tasks as independantly as possible. Over time, this may mean you need less support from us or other service providers.
Can Kyabra help me travel on my own?
Yes, we can. If one of your goals is to travel on your own, we can help make this happen.This might be catching public transport, understanding road safety, or getting your driver’s licence.
Capacity Building Support
From time to time a participant may choose to use their Capacity Building Funding to access a Support Worker.
It is really important that you first check you do not need these funds for other therapy types of support such as OT or Physio. You may choose to use this when you have exhausted your CORE supports and are waiting for an NDIS review or if you have not been allocated CORE. The funds may come from your plan under the following categories:
- Improved Daily Living
- Increased Social and Community Participation
- Improved Relationships
How is Capacity Building different from CORE supports?
Our focus at Kyabra is always about supporting people to develop skills and work towards achieving goals, so this means there is not a huge difference in these types of supports. It is just a different way of funding supports. Unfortunately, Capacity Building Support cannot be provided on the weekend or Public Holidays.
