What are social support visits?
Social support visits are NDIS-funded, goal-directed sessions where a support worker helps a participant build social skills, join community activities, and work towards independence goals recorded in their NDIS plan. The NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2025-26 lists this support under Assistance with Social and Community Participation, funded through Core Supports. Sessions can run one-on-one or in a group, with progress tracked against the participant’s stated goals.
Who it is for and how it is funded
Social support visits are for NDIS participants whose plan includes Core Supports funding for Assistance with Social and Community Participation, typically people working on social skills, community access, or independence goals rather than general companionship. Funding comes from Core Supports and can be flexibly allocated, per the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2025-26. Group sessions are priced lower per participant than 1:1 support, which stretches plan funding across more sessions.
Availability on Carevo
Carevo currently lists 28,004 NDIS-registered providers across 4,782 suburbs, ranked using the criteria explained above. If your goals are more about companionship than structured skill-building, see companionship services for a closer fit.
How this page is compiled
The provider rankings and figures on this page come from Carevo platform records, including provider registrations, measured response times and coverage, together with the cited official sources. Carevo is an Australian platform that connects families with vetted NDIS and aged care providers. Carevo does not deliver care itself.
