Innovative Community Participation
Think outside the box. Build confidence, purpose, and connection.
At Mapple Care, we believe community participation should be creative, meaningful, and as unique as you are. Our Innovative Community Participation supports go beyond traditional social outings to help NDIS participants build confidence, explore new possibilities, and actively engage with their community in empowering ways.
Whether you want to start a hobby, develop life skills, or pursue a passion project—we’ll help you design a journey that feels purposeful and exciting.

- Participate in skill-building programs that boost employment or social readiness
- Try something totally new—we love creative ideas!
These supports are designed to be dynamic, empowering, and person-led. You set the vision—we help bring it to life.
