Participate in the Community

Helping participants join local events, social groups, and recreational activities.

At Distinct Disability Services Australia (DDSA), we are dedicated to helping participants become active, confident, and valued members of their communities. Our Participate Community support service focuses on promoting social inclusion, personal growth, and meaningful engagement through a wide variety of community-based activities.

We understand that community participation looks different for everyone — that’s why our supports are flexible and person-centred, designed to align with each participant’s goals, interests, and comfort level.
