Social and Community Participation

Social and Community Participation

At ZedCare Ability Services, we wholeheartedly believe that true independence and well-being cannot be fully achieved without being an active part of the community. Yes, for the people with disability, sometimes, it can be a bit challenging to do it. But with proper and appropriate support, social and community participation can be well-achieved.

Social and community participation is more than just attending some activities. It is more about to get to new people, build skills, enjoying hobbies, and becoming a valued part of the society.

For most people who live in disability, participating in social and community life can make a huge positive difference. It can help them with many things like build confidence, gives a sense of belonging, and similarly opens big opportunities for growth.

In Sydney, our team at ZedCare Ability Services is here to make sure every NDIS participant feels very supported and socially connected.
