Access Community Social and Rec Activ - High Intensity - Weekday Evening

Line Item Description

This NDIS support item, 04_401_0104_1_1: Access Community Social and Rec Activ - High Intensity - Weekday Evening, is part of the Core Supports budget category for Assistance with Social, Economic and Community Participation.

Purpose: The primary purpose of this support is to assist NDIS participants who require high levels of support to engage in community, social, and/or recreational activities. The funding enables participants to pursue their goals, participate in society, and exercise choice and control over their lives.

High Intensity Support: This is a High Intensity support item, which means it is designed for participants with complex support needs requiring a more skilled or experienced support worker. High Intensity is defined by the need for:

Frequent assistance (at least one instance per shift) to manage challenging behaviours that require intensive positive behaviour support.

Continual active support due to high medical support needs (such as unstable seizure activity or respiratory support).

Delivery Time: This support is specifically delivered during Weekday Evening hours. The NDIS defines the evening time band as support that finishes after 8:00 pm and before 12:00 am (midnight), Monday to Friday. This ensures participants with complex needs can access community life after standard hours.

Activities: The support worker can assist the participant with a wide range of activities in the community or in a centre, which may include attending appointments, social events, community events, or personal interest groups such as a sporting club, art class, or concert.

In addition to the direct one-on-one service, this item can also be used to claim for associated costs, including Non-Face-to-Face Support Provision, Provider Travel, and Short Notice Cancellations, subject to the rules set out in the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits.
