It is particularly beneficial for individuals who may find it challenging to navigate the NDIS system. More details can be found on the NDIS support coordination page.

Participants can access these services to manage their mental health conditions better. Learn more on the NDIS therapeutic supports page.
3. Community Participation: The NDIS encourages participation in social and community activities to promote mental well-being and reduce isolation. Support can include assistance with joining community groups, attending events, or participating in activities that interest the participant.
