Community Participation

Being part of a community is about more than turning up — it's about feeling comfortable, included and confident to keep going back. Our community participation support helps you find activities and groups that genuinely suit your interests, and gives you the support to take part in them regularly.

Our Approach

We start by understanding what you actually enjoy, not just what's on offer nearby. Wherever possible we aim for consistency in who supports you, so you're building the activity with a familiar face rather than starting from scratch each time.

Available across the Central Coast, Lake Macquarie, Newcastle, Maitland and Cessnock.

Next step: call 0422 528 300 or send a short enquiry with your suburb and the days you have in mind. If we can help, we'll arrange a meet-and-greet before anything is agreed.
