Community Engagement Groups

Developing skills. Creating connections. Celebrating every step.

STEPS Community Engagement Groups are a weekly program of social, creative, and skill-building activities designed to support the mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing of people living with a disability.

We provide a safe space for NDIS participants to build friendships, grow their confidence, and work towards their goals in a supportive and inclusive environment.

What are Community Engagement Groups?

Flexible and fun: Choose from a variety of group activities tailored to different interests and support needs
Supportive and social: Led by our caring team and designed to develop confidence and community connections
NDIS Programs of Support funded: It’s easier than ever to access long-term, structured support
Goal-oriented: Every participant starts with a friendly skills assessment and is encouraged to set personal goals

Every week, we celebrate our participants’ progress with a personalised summary, recognising every achievement no matter how big or small. It all counts towards their growth and goals!
