Our NDIS social and community participation supports in Melbourne are designed to help you connect, engage, and build meaningful relationships in ways that suit your goals and lifestyle.
What Is Social and Community Participation Under the NDIS?
Social and community participation means being involved in activities that help you feel connected with others and your community. This can include hobbies, sports, volunteering, group programs, or simply spending time with friends and family. These activities support your wellbeing, build skills, and help you achieve your broader NDIS goals. Read More

Participants Reviews
I’m so happy and satisfied with the support and assistance that I am receiving from IAC. They are going beyond their abilities and capacity to support their participants. I have been supported by my support coordinator to be able to drive again and gain my independence. I would highly recommend this service for people needing NDIS support.
Somaia is such an amazing support worker. She has lots of knowledge regarding the participant and was able to extensively and fluently assist with gathering evidence for her assessment during our appointment. I wish all DSW were as passionate and helpful as Somaia! Great Work Somaia!
I live alone and the support I receive from Independent Ability Care is great. They have been coordinating my supports and making sure my pain is managed and all my supports are communicating I am greatly thankful.
