Stay active, social and connected across Hobart we support you to get out to the people, places and activities that matter, on your terms and at your pace.
Being part of your community does wonders for your wellbeing for confidence, friendships, purpose and simple everyday joy. Community access is about making sure that a disability or support need never gets in the way of showing up to the people, places, and activities that matter to you in Hobart. Whether it’s a regular class, a catch-up with friends, a community group or a day out along the waterfront, we’re there to help you take part, on your terms and at your pace.
For some people, the barrier is transport; for others, it’s confidence, mobility, or simply having someone alongside them. Whatever’s been holding you back, our role is to make getting out into Hobart feel easy and enjoyable rather than stressful or daunting.
Getting out and about should feel good, not like an outing arranged for you. That’s why everything starts from your interests and your pace a regular catch-up, a class you’ve always fancied, a walk somewhere beautiful, or a fuller week of activities. Whether you’re rebuilding confidence after a tough stretch or simply want more connection in your week, we go at the speed that suits you and gradually open up whatever you’d like to do more of. Over time, many people find their world in Hobart grows steadily wider, one enjoyable outing at a time, as new places and faces become familiar.

Community access suits anyone who wants to be more involved in life beyond the home but needs some support to do it. That might be someone looking to build social connections and beat isolation, a person wanting to develop independence and confidence in the community, or someone who simply needs reliable, friendly help to get to the activities they enjoy around Hobart. It’s especially valuable for building the kind of routine and relationships that make daily life richer.
Hobart is a wonderful place to get out and about, and we’re here to help you enjoy it, whether that’s the Salamanca Market on a Saturday, a walk along the Derwent foreshore, a trip up towards kunanyi / Mount Wellington, a visit to a gallery or the waterfront, or simply your local shops, library or neighbourhood house. We support people across the CBD, Sandy Bay, North Hobart, the northern suburbs of Glenorchy and Moonah, and the Eastern Shore communities of Bellerive, Howrah and Lindisfarne. Local knowledge helps us plan outings that are accessible, enjoyable and genuinely yours.
As your confidence grows, the support can evolve perhaps stepping back as you become more independent, or branching into new activities as your interests expand.
Questions about funding, availability, or where to start in Hobart? We’re glad to help, no jargon, no pressure.
We welcome people of all ages, cultures, genders, sexualities, faiths and abilities, and we acknowledge the palawa / pakana people as the traditional owners of the land we share. Community should be for everyone, so participants from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, LGBTIQA+ participants, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are supported to connect with the communities, cultural activities and events that matter to them, with respectful, person-first support throughout.
When you’re relying on transport to get somewhere important, dependability is everything. We pride ourselves on turning up when we say we will, with friendly local support workers who know your needs and put you at ease. We allow plenty of time so you’re never rushed, and we assist you door-to-door rather than just dropping you off making sure you get where you’re going safely and comfortably. Many people tell us it’s that dependability that makes the biggest difference the quiet certainty that their ride will simply be there when they need it.
Assistance with social and community participation is commonly funded under Core Supports in an NDIS plan, while skill-building activities may fall under Capacity Building. If you’d like help making the most of this funding, our support coordination team in Hobart can help you put it to good use.
Connection, activity and a sense of belonging are good for all of us. If you’d like support to get out and make the most of Hobart, we’d love to help you do exactly that.
Whether you're new to the NDIS or looking for a Hobart provider who genuinely listens, we'd love to hear from you. No pressure just a friendly chat about what you need.
