At Premier Care Connect, our Innovative Community Participation service is designed to bridge the gap between simple attendance and true independence, focusing on building the specific skills you need to navigate your community with confidence. We move beyond standard support by offering capacity-building programs that help you develop resilience, emotional regulation, and social strategies, empowering you to find and join local clubs, events, or interest groups on your own terms.
You can utilize your NDIS Innov Community Participation 116 funding, found within your Capacity Building budget, to access specialized programs that go beyond standard daily care. Unlike Core Supports which fund regular assistance, this specific line item is designed to purchase innovative, time-limited services that focus on skill development and community integration.
