What “Social & Community Participation” Means

This NDIS support category focuses on helping you take part in social, recreational, and community activities. It’s about building confidence, reducing isolation, and creating meaningful experiences that enhance your quality of life. At Edel Support, we support you in a way that feels natural, comfortable, and aligned with your interests—not forced or one-size-fits-all.

How Edel Support Can Help

We tailor your support around what you enjoy and what you want to achieve. Our services may include:

The Edel Support Difference

We understand that many participants have experienced support that feels rushed, impersonal, or purely task-focused. That’s not how we work.

With Edel Support, you can expect:

  • Genuine, engaging support workers who enjoy what they do
  • Consistent staff so you can build real connections
  • Flexible, interest-based support tailored to you
  • A relaxed, friendly approach—no pressure, just support at your pace

Make the Most of Every Day

At Edel Support, we’re here to help you experience more of what life has to offer. Whether it’s trying something new or enjoying your favourite activities, we support you to stay connected, confident, and involved in your community.

Social & Community Participation helps you get out of the house and take part in activities you enjoy or want to try. This can include going to cafés, shopping, attending community events, joining hobby groups, or simply getting out into the community more confidently.

In Perth, many providers offer “outings,” but at Edel Support we focus on meaningful participation, not just transport or ticking boxes—we support you to actually engage, enjoy, and build confidence in what you’re doing.

Yes—absolutely. Unfortunately, some providers still offer limited or repetitive outings that don’t reflect the participant’s interests.
At Edel Support, your support is completely person-centred. We build your schedule around your interests, goals, and comfort level, whether that’s fitness, social groups, creative hobbies, volunteering, or exploring new experiences.

This is very common, and many participants in Perth are given support without proper emotional or gradual skill-building support.
Edel Support takes a different approach—we don’t rush you. Our support workers help you build confidence step-by-step, starting with comfortable environments and gradually expanding your social participation at your pace.

While many providers focus on simply “taking you out,” Edel Support focuses on real connection and long-term outcomes:

  • Consistent support workers so you feel comfortable and understood
  • Interest-based activities tailored specifically to you
  • Genuine engagement, not passive supervision
  • Support that builds independence, not dependency

We aim to make social participation something you genuinely look forward to—not something that feels routine or forced.
