Port Macquarie Social & Community Participation
Home Nursing Services supports individuals across Port Macquarie and surrounding areas in accessing social opportunities that promote connection, confidence, and independence. Designed for people living with a disability, chronic illness, or age-related limitations, this service focuses on helping clients engage in meaningful activities—whether it’s attending community events, joining group outings, or participating in hobbies and local programs. Unlike general transport or community services, this support is highly personalised and delivered by trained professionals who understand the unique physical, emotional, and social needs of each client.
Our approach ensures that every outing is not only accessible, but also enjoyable, respectful, and tailored to personal interests and comfort levels.
Our social and community participation offerings helps individuals stay active in their community and maintain vital social connections. To learn more or book a consultation, call 0448 538 383 today.

Tailored Support for Everyday Connection
Social and community participation support includes help with planning, transportation, and companionship for a wide range of activities. Whether it's attending a class, visiting a friend, joining a recreational group, or going on a day trip, each experience is designed around the individual’s goals and abilities. The service also accommodates one-on-one and group participation, providing flexibility for those who prefer quiet activities or thrive in social settings. Assistance can also include helping clients build new skills, navigate unfamiliar environments, or develop confidence in public spaces.
By providing consistent, respectful support, we aim to reduce isolation and promote emotional wellbeing through active engagement in daily life.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is social and community participation under the NDIS?
Social and community participation under the NDIS refers to supports that help individuals with disabilities engage in recreational, cultural, and social activities outside their home. This can include attending local events, taking classes, joining clubs, or simply visiting friends. These activities are often tied to personal goals and are designed to improve social skills, confidence, and community involvement. Support workers may assist with transport, communication, or mobility during outings, depending on the person’s specific needs.
Who is eligible for social participation support?
This service is typically available to individuals with an NDIS plan that includes funding for ‘Increased Social and Community Participation’ or ‘Core Supports’. It may also be accessed privately by those not covered under the NDIS but who require assistance due to disability, illness, or age-related challenges. The service is suitable for adults and children who experience difficulty accessing social activities independently due to physical, cognitive, or emotional barriers.
What types of activities are included?
Activities vary depending on the individual’s interests and goals but may include group events, art or fitness classes, religious services, volunteering, or attending community centres. Support may also be provided for everyday social interactions like going to the shops or catching up with friends. The aim is to encourage participation in settings that support social growth and community engagement.
