Our Innovative Community Participation program is designed to support NDIS participants in building social connections, developing life skills, and accessing opportunities that are unique, inclusive, and impactful.

Whether you're looking to express yourself through the arts, develop employment pathways, or simply discover new interests, Horizon Harmony is here to support your journey.

What is Innovative Community Participation?

Innovative Community Participation is a support category under the NDIS Capacity Building budget. It aims to enable participants to take part in activities that help them engage in their communities in creative and non-traditional ways. These activities may include volunteering, arts and crafts, leadership development, mentoring, or even micro-enterprise exploration.

Unlike standard community participation, this program is highly flexible and tailored to each person’s individual interests, goals, and abilities. It is especially valuable for participants who want to explore new skills, connect with like-minded individuals, or build confidence in social settings.

How to Get Started

Getting started with Horizon Harmony’s Innovative Community Participation program is simple. We’ll begin with a conversation to understand your NDIS plan, your interests, and your goals. From there, we’ll work with you (and your family or support network, if you wish) to design a program that’s as unique as you are.

Our support can be delivered one-on-one or in small groups, in your local community, at home, or online — depending on your preferences and comfort level.
