What is community access support?
Community access support is a support worker helping you take part in activities outside the home: social outings, community groups, appointments, shopping, and recreation, not just a lift from A to B. It sits within NDIS Core Supports as Assistance with Social and Community Participation, or within aged care as a social support service (NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2026-27).
How do I choose a community access support provider?
The providers ranked above are ordered using the methodology explained higher on this page. For community access specifically, four checks matter most. Registration: confirm the provider’s NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission registration covers Assistance with Social and Community Participation, and check for Support at Home registration if you need aged care social support instead. Response time: outings and weekly slots need a worker locked in ahead of time, so check the provider against the response-time benchmarks further down this page before you commit. Pricing transparency: ask whether quoted rates cover 1:1 or group support, since group community access is usually priced lower per person than one-to-one outings. Coverage: Carevo has logged 155 community access enquiries nationally, but staff availability is local, so confirm current capacity in your suburb rather than relying on a provider’s general service area.
Which funding pays for community access support?
Community access is funded from two different places depending on who you are. NDIS participants use the Core Supports budget, under Assistance with Social and Community Participation, added to a plan once a planner confirms the goal relates to community, social, or recreational participation (NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2026-27). Older Australians access social support instead, funded under the Independence category of Support at Home, which replaced Home Care Packages on 1 November 2025, following an assessment through the Single Assessment System (Department of Health and Aged Care, 2025). You cannot request either directly. Both follow an assessment first, then a support worker or group program is arranged around the approved budget.
Where community access support is available
Carevo lists 28,004 NDIS providers and 2,619 aged care providers across 4,782 suburbs. Coverage is deepest in New South Wales, with 8,844 NDIS providers, and Victoria, with 7,545. If you need help with specific appointments rather than ongoing social outings, compare transport services, or see social support visits for group-based options funded through Support at Home.
