NDIS innovative community participation in Canberra
Barmil’s NDIS innovative community participation in Canberra starts with a particular barrier to taking part. We discuss your circumstances and goals, then explore a tailored approach where a standard activity arrangement may not fit.
A more individual way to take part.
NDIS innovative community participation focuses on an individual approach to a participation goal. We ask what has made involvement difficult, what you have already tried and which practical changes or preparation might help.
For example, you might want to work through the steps involved in approaching an unfamiliar setting before deciding whether to take part. This is an example to discuss, not a scheduled program or a promise of a particular outcome. Suitability, funding arrangements and available assistance must be confirmed.
This page focuses on tailored preparation and individual barriers. For assistance attending everyday activities, see social and community participation. For shared sessions, see group activities.

Your questions
How is this different from ordinary community participation?
Ordinary participation support concerns assistance accessing chosen everyday activities. Innovative participation starts with a particular barrier and explores an individually tailored response. We clarify the proposed service with you before you agree.
Is there a set activity program?
The focus is on your circumstances and goals. Contact us to discuss whether an individual approach is appropriate and available.
Will my NDIS plan cover it?
That depends on your plan, the proposed support and your disability-related needs. Funding should be checked before you agree to a service.
Support that fits together.
