Our Happy Participants

Maria

Before Affective Care, my son hardly left the house. Now he looks forward to his weekly outings and has even made new friends at the local community centre. The support workers are kind, patient, and really understand how to build his confidence.

James

What I love most is the choice and flexibility. I get to decide where I want to go, whether it’s the beach, the shops, or just a coffee with friends. My support worker is always encouraging, and I feel like I’m part of the community again.

Lina

As a Support Coordinator, I need providers I can trust. Affective Care always delivers professional, reliable service while treating participants with genuine care and respect. Families tell me they feel safe and supported every step of the way.

FAQ

Social and community support services aim to enhance individuals’ well-being by facilitating engagement in community activities, fostering social connections, and promoting independence. These services are tailored to help participants build relationships, develop skills, and participate actively in their communities.

Individuals with disabilities, mental health conditions, or those experiencing social isolation can benefit significantly. These services are especially beneficial for NDIS participants seeking to improve their social interactions and community involvement.

Activities may include attending community events, joining social groups, participating in recreational activities, and engaging in skill-building workshops. The focus is on aligning activities with the individual’s interests and goals.

Services are customised based on individual assessments, considering personal goals, interests, and support needs. This person-centred approach ensures that support plans are meaningful and effective.
Access typically begins with an NDIS plan that includes funding for social and community participation. Interested individuals can contact Affective Care directly or consult with their NDIS planner or support coordinator.
