What community participation involves
Community participation is support to get out there: social outings, hobbies, sport, classes, volunteering, events and the everyday places that make up a life. A support worker comes alongside you — one-to-one or in a small group — so you can take part on your own terms.
It's usually funded under Assistance with Social, Economic and Community Participation in Core Supports. Your plan and the NDIA decide what's funded.
What's included
- Social and recreational outings
- Classes, hobbies and sport
- Volunteering and community events
- Building confidence in new places
- One-to-one or small-group support
Community participation around Doonside
Doonside is a suburb about 40 km west of the Sydney CBD in the City of Blacktown, part of Greater Western Sydney. Nurragingy Reserve lies on its western edge, the Main Western railway line passes through, and it neighbours Blacktown, Rooty Hill, Quakers Hill and Woodcroft.
Community participation in Doonside starts with what's close to home: Nurragingy Reserve (Western Sydney Parklands), and the community programs and events run by Blacktown City Council, listed on the council's website.
For outings further afield, Doonside station (T1 North Shore & Western Line) connects Doonside to the rest of Sydney. Practising a train trip with a support worker is often a goal in its own right.
Many people we support also spend time in nearby Quakers Hill, Blacktown and Rooty Hill, and activities don't have to stop at the suburb boundary.

Community participation in Doonside: common questions
What can I do around Doonside with community participation support?
Whatever you'd like to work towards. Close to home that might include Nurragingy Reserve (Western Sydney Parklands) and programs and events run by Blacktown City Council. We'll plan outings around your interests, and go further afield when you're ready.
Can a support worker help me catch the train from Doonside?
Yes. Travelling together from Doonside until the trip feels familiar is a common community participation goal, and can lead to travelling independently.
Can I choose what activities I do?
Yes. Community participation is built around what you want to do, not a fixed program.
Are entry fees and tickets covered by the NDIS?
Usually not. The NDIS generally funds the support worker's time, while activity costs like tickets and memberships are paid by you.
