Common questions about our Group / Centre Based Activities support.
Group and Centre Based Activities are NDIS-funded programs that bring participants together in a supportive, structured environment to socialise, learn new skills, and engage with their community. Activities range from arts and crafts, cooking classes, and music therapy to sports, fitness programs, day trips, and life skills workshops. They are delivered at community venues or disability day centres, and are designed to promote inclusion, confidence, and personal growth for NDIS participants of all ages and ability levels.
Any NDIS participant with "Assistance with Social and Community Participation" funding — or relevant Core Supports or Capacity Building funding — in their plan may be eligible. Programs are suitable for participants of all ages and disability types. If you're unsure whether your plan includes this funding, speak with your Support Coordinator or Plan Manager, or contact the Bharosa team and we'll help you find out.
Group and Centre Based Activities are primarily funded under the Core Supports budget within the "Assistance with Social, Economic and Community Participation" category. Depending on your goals, some programs may also draw from your Capacity Building budget. Funding can cover the cost of participation, any personal care or support worker assistance required during sessions, and in some cases, transport to and from the activity. Bharosa's team can help you understand exactly how to use your plan funding.
Group and centre based activities deliver a wide range of benefits, including building social connections and lasting friendships, reducing isolation and loneliness, developing practical life skills and greater independence, improving mental and physical wellbeing through therapeutic and recreational programs, building confidence through shared experiences and achievements, and gaining a genuine sense of community. Regular social participation is consistently linked to improved quality of life and long-term wellbeing for people with disability.
Absolutely. At Bharosa, you are in control. We work with you to understand your interests, personal goals, cultural background, and support needs — then help match you with programs that are genuinely meaningful and enjoyable.
