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 St Clair

St Clair is a suburb about 44 km west of the Sydney CBD in the City of Penrith, part of Greater Western Sydney. It is bounded by the M4 Motorway to the north, Erskine Park Road to the east and Mamre Road to the west, and neighbours St Marys, Colyton and Erskine Park.

Community participation in St Clair starts with what's close to home: St Clair Leisure Centre (Ripples St Clair), and the community programs and events run by Penrith City Council, listed on the council's website.

St Clair doesn't have its own railway station, so outings usually start by car or bus — and learning a local bus trip with a support worker can become a goal in its own right.

Local places that often feature in plans include St Clair Library (St Clair) and St Clair Youth Centre.

Many people we support also spend time in nearby St Marys, Kingswood and Penrith, and activities don't have to stop at the suburb boundary.

Do you provide community participation support in St Clair?

Yes. We support people in St Clair 2759 and nearby suburbs such as St Marys, Kingswood and Penrith. Which worker can help, and when, depends on the days and times you need, so tell us your suburb and routine when you enquire and we'll confirm what we can arrange.

Can I choose what activities I do?
