Social and community participation is support to get out, join activities and spend time with other people. It may be funded under Assistance with Social and Community Participation in Core Supports when it is reasonable and necessary and in the participant's plan. Horizons provides it across Brisbane for self-managed and plan-managed participants only.

Every support worker holds a current NDIS Worker Screening clearance and current first aid and CPR. HSN holds public liability and professional indemnity insurance.

This support may be funded under Assistance with Social and Community Participation in Core Supports when it is reasonable and necessary and in the participant's plan. It is not clinical support and it is not Supported Independent Living (SIL). Horizons is a non-registered provider, so this is for self-managed and plan-managed participants only, when it fits the plan and the service agreement. Read what NDIS core supports cover if you are sorting the budget, or Daily Personal Activities if the need is home and personal care rather than getting out.
Chris' support and encouragement of Xavier has been instrumental in him obtaining work as a volunteer with RSPCA. Xavier's pride at having a 'job' is heartwarming to see. Xavier is always keen to head out the door with Chris, he comes home with tall tales and a huge smile, looking forward to their next adventure. As a family we feel extremely fortunate to have a man like Chris in Xavier's life, he is a wonderful role model, support worker and treats all with respect.
