Registered NDIS providerSkills, confidence and friendship
Group programmes are structured NDIS day activities where participants come together to build practical skills, grow their confidence and make real friendships. They are a chance to learn, connect and belong, in a welcoming, supported group.
At 1 Care Connect, our group programmes are planned around the people in them and backed by a nurse-led team, so participants with health needs can take part fully and safely.
Are group programmes funded by the NDIS? Yes. Group-based community participation and skill-building activities are commonly funded within your Core Supports or Capacity Building. Your support coordinator can help you include them in your NDIS plan.
