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 Mount Druitt

Mount Druitt is a suburb about 43 km west of the Sydney CBD in the City of Blacktown, part of Greater Western Sydney. The name is also used loosely for the surrounding group of suburbs such as Dharruk, Whalan, Shalvey, Tregear and Willmot, and it borders Rooty Hill, Plumpton, Minchinbury and Colyton.

Community participation in Mount Druitt starts with what's close to home: Westfield Mount Druitt, and the community programs and events run by Blacktown City Council, listed on the council's website.

For outings further afield, Mount Druitt station (T1 North Shore & Western Line) connects Mount Druitt 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 Our Library @ The Mount Druitt Hub (Mount Druitt) and The Mount Druitt Hub (Dawson Mall, Mount Druitt).

Many people we support also spend time in nearby Whalan, Tregear and Dharruk, and activities don't have to stop at the suburb boundary.

Questions

Community participation in Mount Druitt: common questions

What can I do around Mount Druitt with community participation support?

Whatever you'd like to work towards. Close to home that might include Our Library @ The Mount Druitt Hub (Mount Druitt), Westfield Mount Druitt 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 Mount Druitt?

Yes. Travelling together from Mount Druitt 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.
