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 Granville

Granville is a Western Sydney suburb about 18 km west of the Sydney CBD, split between Cumberland City Council and the City of Parramatta. The Duck River forms its eastern boundary with Auburn, Parramatta Road passes through, and it neighbours Harris Park, Merrylands, Clyde and South Granville.

Community participation in Granville starts with what's close to home: TAFE NSW Granville campus, and the community programs and events run by Cumberland City Council, listed on the council's website.

For outings further afield, Granville station (T1 North Shore & Western Line; T2 Leppington & Inner West Line) connects Granville to the rest of Sydney. Practising a train trip with a support worker is often a goal in its own right.

Local places that often feature in plans include Granville Library and Toy Library (Granville), F.S. Garside Park and Granville Swim Centre (Enid Avenue, Granville).

Many people we support also spend time in nearby Harris Park, Auburn and Guildford, and activities don't have to stop at the suburb boundary.

Questions

Community participation in Granville: common questions

What can I do around Granville with community participation support?

Whatever you'd like to work towards. Close to home that might include TAFE NSW Granville campus, Granville Library and Toy Library (Granville), F.S. Garside Park and programs and events run by Cumberland 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 Granville?

Yes. Travelling together from Granville 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.
