Community Support in Southport

NDIS-funded community participation, social activities, and local engagement for participants and families in Southport and the northern Gold Coast.

About community support in Southport

Our community support service helps NDIS participants engage with the people, places, and activities that matter to them. From social outings and group activities to volunteering and skill-based workshops, we help you stay connected and active in your local community.

Based on the northern Gold Coast, our team knows the best local spots — from the Broadwater Parklands, Southport CBD, and the Southport Spit marine precinct. We bring that local knowledge to every support session, helping you get the most from the Southport community.
