Who Can Access These Services?

Our community support services are available to NDIS participants with intellectual disability. We also welcome participants who are waiting for NDIS approval or are self-funded.

How Much Does It Cost?

Most of our services are funded through your NDIS plan under 'Social and Community Participation' or 'Increased Social and Community Participation'. We can help you understand your funding options.

What Can I Use My NDIS Community Participation Funds For?

You can use your NDIS funding to do more of what matters to you, such as connecting with others, learning new skills or getting involved in your community. This may include attending a Learning and Lifestyle Hub, joining group activities or receiving one-on-one support.

I Have Community Funding in My NDIS Plan but Have Not Used It. What Can I Do?

Many people have unspent funds simply because they are unsure what supports are available. We can help you understand your plan and start using your community participation funding to do the things you enjoy, whether that is learning new skills, trying something new or meeting people in your local area.

Do I Need to Change My NDIS Plan to Start Using My Community Supports?

Not always. If you already have Social and Community Participation in your NDIS plan, you can start right away. If not, we can guide you on how to add this support at your next plan review.

I Am a Support Coordinator. How Can Endeavour Foundation Help My Clients Use Their Community Funding?

We make it easy for clients to use their community participation funding by matching them with local programs that align with their goals. Referral forms, resources and contacts are available on our Referrer page.

Where Are You Located?

We have community participation services and Learning and Lifestyle Hubs across Queensland, Sydney and Melbourne. Community participation support is available in your local area.

What if I Do Not Have an NDIS Plan Yet?

We can still support you while you apply for the NDIS. We also offer fee-for-service options for self-funded clients.

Can I Try a Service Before Committing?

Yes. You can visit our hubs for a tour or try a complimentary activity to see if it is right for you.

What Ages Do You Support?

Our services are designed for people aged 16 and over. We have programs specifically for school leavers, young adults and mature participants.
