1. Establishing Your Plan

In your first meeting, your NDIS planner or support coordinator will discuss your goals and social and community participation needs. They will assess your eligibility and include this support category in your plan.

2. Core Supports Funding

Once your plan is approved, it will outline the funding allocated for your social and community participation supports under the Core Supports section. The funding amount will depend on your individual needs and goals.

With your allocated funding, you can choose a NDIS service provider, such as Hope and Beyond Care, who offers NDIS assistance with social and community participation.

Once you have selected a service provider, they will work with you to develop a service agreement. This agreement outlines the specific supports, activities, and goals you will work on together and any associated costs or fees.
