Group and Centre Based Activities NDIS

Life is better when you are part of something. At Heal Care, our NDIS group and centre based activities in Sydney give you a safe, fun, and welcoming space to meet people, discover what you enjoy, and build skills that help you live more independently. Every session is designed with your goals in mind, not just to fill your day, but to genuinely move your life forward.

As a registered NDIS provider, we run structured group centre activities that are fully funded through your NDIS plan. Whether you are new to group programs or looking to switch to a provider who actually listens, we make the whole process easy from day one.

UNDERSTANDING SUPPORT

What Are NDIS Group and Centre Based Activities?

Group and centre based activities are NDIS-funded programs where participants come together either at a centre or out in the community to take part in social, recreational, or skill-building experiences. These programs sit under the Core Supports budget in your NDIS plan, specifically within the Assistance with Social and Community Participation category (Registration Group 0136).

Unlike one-on-one support, group programs allow you to connect with other participants, share experiences, and build a social network, all while working toward your personal NDIS goals. The cost per session is generally lower than individual support, which means your funding goes further.

OUR APPROACH

Person-Centred, Goal-Driven, Community-Connected

At Heal Care, we do not believe in cookie-cutter programs.

1

Understanding your goals

Before you join any group, we sit down with you and your family or carer, if you choose, to understand what success looks like for you personally.

2

Built around real outcomes

Maybe it is making one new friend. Maybe it is cooking a full meal on your own. Maybe it is simply getting out of the house three times a week.

3

Progress tracking and support updates

We then track your progress, celebrate your wins, and adjust the program when needed. Our support workers document outcomes and share regular updates so your whole support network stays informed.

4

Individual care

This approach aligns with the NDIS Practice Standards and reflects our genuine belief that every participant deserves care that is as individual as they are.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1

What is the difference between group centre activities and individual support?

Individual support is one-on-one assistance, while group and centre based activities involve joining other NDIS participants in a shared program. Group sessions cost less per hour, so your funding goes further, and you also gain the social connection that individual support does not always offer.

Q2

Can my NDIS funding cover both group activities and individual support?

Yes, many participants use both. Group activities are funded under Social and Community Participation, while individual support falls under Assistance with Daily Life. Our team can review your plan and help you make the most of your existing funding.

Q3

How do I know which activities are right for me?

Talk to us, and we will guide you. We ask about your interests and goals, and suggest programs that suit you. We invite you to try a session first, with no pressure to commit.

Q4

My current plan doesn't include group activities. Can I still access them?

You can request this funding at your next NDIS plan review. We can help you prepare supporting documentation that shows how group activities connect to your personal goals.

Q5

Do activities only happen at your centre, or do you go into the community?

Both. We run sessions at our centre and take participants on regular outings across Sydney cafes, parks, markets, and local events. Transport assistance is available for those who need it.
