WHAT WE WORK ON
More confidence taking part.
Community participation support helps a young person get involved in interests and everyday community life. We can plan for an unfamiliar setting, support them while they take part and practise the communication or social skills that matter to them.
This may be a useful starting point when the priority is getting involved in a community activity, making connections or practising skills for social situations.
Follow their interests
Try recreation, a club or a community activity they choose.
Practise social skills
Take turns, start a conversation and express preferences.
Feel more comfortable
Build familiarity with a new place or activity at their pace.
ONE WAY A SESSION COULD LOOK
Trying an activity in a new place
A young person is interested in a local club or community activity but feels unsure about joining in.
Plan together
Talk through what the activity involves, how to arrive and what could help them feel more comfortable.
Take part at their pace
Support might include approaching the group, asking a question, taking turns or finding an agreed break when needed.
Decide what comes next
Listen to what they enjoyed and what felt difficult, then decide together whether to return or try another interest.
What might we do together?
We could join a local club, try a creative or recreational activity, go walking or bushwalking, or visit a supervised pool. We agree a suitable setting and support the young person to take part at their pace.
We agree the activity, location, supervision and any extra costs with you beforehand.

Private and NDIS-funded support
Private and eligible NDIS-funded sessions use the same rates for equivalent support. We work with self-managed and plan-managed participants and confirm funding suitability with you.
Routine preparation, basic materials and brief session notes are included.
Other times and group activities are quoted separately. Any entry fees, meals, ordinary purchases, unusual materials or extra travel are agreed in advance.
A few common questions.
How are travel and activity costs handled?
The first 30 minutes of outbound travel are included, with no return-time or kilometre charge. Any extra outbound time and necessary parking or tolls require advance agreement. NDIS-funded travel needs separate eligibility checks. Entry fees, meals, ordinary purchases and unusual materials are agreed before booking. We do not transport participants in a personal vehicle.
Can we use NDIS funding?
We support eligible self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants. Their Path is an unregistered provider. We check the proposed support, individual plan and funding suitability with you before agreeing NDIS billing. Private and eligible NDIS-funded sessions use the same rates for equivalent support.
Is this therapy or personal care?
Support is practical and non-clinical. It does not replace therapy or specialist behaviour support. Personal care, medication assistance and other additional support duties are outside the service scope.
FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
