Community Access

Prime 1 Care provides flexible and supportive community access services that help individuals with disability actively participate in everyday community life. Our goal is to support participants to build confidence, social connections and independence while engaging in activities that matter to them.

Whether it’s attending appointments, social outings, recreational activities, or developing life skills, our team is here to support safe, meaningful and enjoyable community participation.

What Is Community Access?

Community access is an NDIS-funded support that enables participants to engage in social, recreational and everyday community activities. It focuses on reducing isolation, building independence, and supporting individuals to feel confident navigating their community. At Prime 1 Care, community access is always tailored to each participant’s interests, abilities and goals.

What Can Community Access Support Include?

Support can be provided one-on-one or in small groups, depending on participant preference.
