Community Services
Abilities Enabled Group provides a range of Community Service offerings to support people with disabilities to live the life they choose
Belong. Grow. Shine with Our NDIS Community Services
Community services and related programs are structured initiatives aimed at facilitating the active involvement of people with disabilities in a diverse array of social activities. Community services programs address and recognise the unique aspirations and needs of participants, fostering empowerment and inclusivity. Unlike standard support mechanisms, NDIS social access emphasises engagement beyond the individual, seeking to integrate individuals with disabilities into the fabric of their communities.
Abilities Enabled Group (AEG) empowers participants through meaningful community services tailored to individual needs. We foster inclusion, social connections, and confidence-building activities that support independence and well-being—because your goals matter, and your journey deserves compassionate, expert guidance every step of the way.
Benefits of community services under NDIS
- Positive Emotional and Social Outcomes: Social and community participation plays a crucial role in shaping positive emotional and social outcomes for people with disabilities.
- Improving Employability, Reducing Isolation, and Enhancing Confidence: The mastery of diverse activities, the acquisition of new skills, and the recognition received from society contribute to a heightened sense of self-efficacy.
- Reducing Reliance on Informal and Formal Supports: As participants develop a sense of inclusion within their communities and autonomy, the need for formal support services may decrease.
