Community & Social Activities

The aim of community and social participation services is to help individuals with disabilities to develop their social skills, build relationships, and feel connected to their communities. This can have a positive impact on their mental health and overall well-being.

This category of support includes a range of services, such as:

  • assistance with accessing community events
  • classes and workshops
  • support for participation in social activities with friends and family
  • support for volunteer work, participation in sports or hobbies
  • assistance with building social networks and connections

Universal Ability’ culturally competent, multilingual support coordinators are committed to empowering participants to have absolute control in decision making, skill-building, and managing their life. Through collaboration, support coordinators link participants with service providers.

Universal Ability’ Support Coordination Team provides a wide range of services to the participants, their families and carers, including:

Supporting participants to understand and implement the funded supports in their plan.

Linking participants to the community, mainstream and other government and non-government services.

Negotiating service costs with providers and budget participant plan accordingly.

Ensuring service agreements and service bookings are completed in line with the participants’ goals.
