Community Connections Program
Support to stay connected
The Community Connections Program supports people who are not eligible for mainstream programs such as the NDIS or My Aged Care to become more involved in their community and connect with local support networks and services.
This is a short-term program, delivered over up to 12 weeks through a statewide network of partner organisations. Support focuses on helping each person establish and maintain meaningful social connections, strengthen community participation, and build a sense of belonging.
The program works alongside people to identify what connection looks like for them and supports pathways that can be sustained beyond the program.
