Social and Community Participation
Social and Community Participation
Feeling connected and safe within the community is essential for our well-being. Individuals with Autism particularly benefit from community involvement. The NDIS social and community participation is largely aimed at participants with an intellectual disability, autism spectrum, and psychosocial disability. At WEK Services, we are committed to empowering NDIS participants by fostering meaningful connections through social and community activities.
Just like everyone else, most individuals with a disability desire friendships and social interaction. However, many face challenges with communication and social interaction, leading to feelings of social isolation. At WEK Services, our team is dedicated to helping you overcome these obstacles by facilitating access to the local community, fostering engagement, and maintaining connections. Whether it's meeting new people, forming friendships, or nurturing lasting relationships, we are committed to supporting you throughout your journey.

Work and Study Support

Contributing to and participating in the community is essential for a good quality of life for any person. For individuals with a disability, this involvement can be even more impactful, providing opportunities for personal growth, social interaction, and a sense of belonging. At WEK Services, we understand the profound benefits that come from being an active part of the community. By breaking down barriers and fostering inclusivity, we help individuals not only find their place in the community but also thrive within it.

I have worked at Wek Services for 3 years. In all this time, I have found management to be totally supportive of staff. They fit in with family life and are very supportive of any unforeseen issues, whether work or personal related. Ongoing training is offered. Client care is, from what I have witnessed, of the highest quality. I have no hesitation in recommending Wek Services for work or clients. 100% happy with this company.
