Access Community Social and Rec Activ - High Intensity - Saturday

Line Item Description

This NDIS support item (04_402_0104_1_1) is funded under Core Supports in the Assistance with Social, Economic and Community Participation category.

Purpose of the Support This item is specifically for providing support to participants with high-intensity or complex needs to enable them to engage in community, social, and recreational activities on a Saturday. It ensures participants who require a higher level of skilled assistance can still pursue their social and community goals on the weekend.

High-Intensity Requirements The 'High Intensity' classification indicates that the participant requires a specialised, more skilled, or experienced support worker. This typically applies when a participant needs assistance with activities relating to High Intensity Daily Personal Activities, which may include complex health supports such as:

Complex bowel care

Enteral feeding and management

Tracheostomy management

Severe dysphagia management

Other complex medical conditions that require specialised training to manage safely during community outings.

Service Delivery

The service is delivered on an hourly basis by a support worker who has the necessary skills and experience (e.g., meeting the classification criteria of a Social and Community Service Employee Level 2 or Level 3 under the SCHADS Award).

The support is provided one-on-one (1:1) to facilitate individual access and engagement.

The ultimate benefit is increased community interaction, social inclusion, fostering independence, and providing respite for carers.

This line item can also be used to claim for associated costs, including Non-Face-to-Face support provision (NF2F) and Provider Travel, in accordance with the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits.
