Access Community Social and Rec Activ - High Intensity - Public Holiday

Line Item Description

This NDIS support item falls under the Core Support category, specifically under the Assistance with Social, Economic and Community Participation section.

04_404_0104_1_1: Access Community Social and Rec Activ - High Intensity - Public Holiday provides a participant who has a high level of support need with individual assistance to engage in community, social, or recreational activities away from their home.

Key Features of this Support:

High Intensity Support: This item is specifically for participants who require more frequent, complex, or skilled support due to the nature of their disability, including complex health or communication needs, or where challenging behaviours are present. This necessitates a highly skilled or experienced support worker, often meeting the classification criteria for a Level 2 or Level 3 worker under the Social, Community, Home Care and Disability Services Industry Award (SCHADS Award).

Public Holiday Delivery: The support is delivered on a public holiday, which accounts for the higher loading and separate item code, ensuring providers are compensated fairly for the increased wage costs on these days.

Community Inclusion: The goal is to support the participant to build skills, independence, and social capacity to actively participate and be included in their community. This could involve attending events, joining clubs, visiting recreational venues, or pursuing personal hobbies and interests.

Unit of Measure: This support is typically claimable on an hourly basis.

Claiming Rules: As per NDIS guidelines, this support may also be used to claim for associated costs such as non-face-to-face support provision, provider travel, and short notice cancellations (subject to the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits rules).
