NDIS Social Connection

Social Connection (NDIS)

Because connection matters

Many people living with disability experience loneliness or disconnection from their community. At United For Care, our NDIS Social Connection supports help people build meaningful relationships, engage in everyday life, and feel part of something. Because having someone to talk to, laugh with, and share time with is more than nice—it’s essential.

What is Social Connection support under the NDIS?
Social connection is part of the Assistance with Social and Community Participation support category. It includes one-on-one or group-based assistance to:

• Build and maintain friendships
• Reconnect with family or cultural ties
• Participate in social activities
• Attend community events or support groups
• Improve communication or social skills
• Reduce isolation and build confidence

Whether you're meeting a friend for coffee, joining a walking group, or learning how to use public transport to attend a social outing, our support workers are there with you.

Tailored to your comfort level
We understand that social interaction can be overwhelming or tiring. That’s why we match you with support workers who are calm, friendly, and respectful of your social pace and boundaries.

Why social connection matters
Social isolation can increase the risk of anxiety, depression, and poor physical health. Building connection not only improves mental health but also increases resilience and self-worth.

Who can benefit?

Social connection is for people of all ages, but can also be particularly helpful for:

• People with psychosocial disability
• Autistic participants who prefer small group settings
• Those experiencing social anxiety or low confidence
• Older people with disability who are feeling disconnected
• Participants transitioning from supported housing or hospital stays

Your world becomes lighter when you're connected. At United For Care, we help you build the kinds of relationships that make life feel meaningful again.
