Price limits, not a quote. These maximums apply to NDIA-managed and plan-managed funding. Agree actual charges with your provider. Time, day, intensity and delivery zone affect the applicable item and limit.

Staffing, shared supports and other costs

Confirm the eligible support item, worker skills, hours and staffing arrangements. Shared support needs an agreed allocation across participants; multiple workers need their own agreed hours. Do not assume a ratio simply divides the price.

Sleepovers, daily accommodation packages and separate activities need their own applicable items and claiming conditions. This table shows selected hourly items only. Check the official pricing guidance.

The full guide

Whether it’s joining a local art class, attending a footy match, exploring your neighbourhood, or grabbing a coffee with mates, we’re here to help you take part in your community, your way.

Because you deserve to be part of it all. Community access is one of our disability support services, so it can work alongside your in-home help, skill building, and peer support.

01

What is community access support?

Community access is about helping you get involved in activities and events outside your home. It’s practical support designed to:

  • Boost your confidence when out and about
  • Build social skills and independence
  • Help you discover hobbies, interests, and passions
  • Create opportunities for real friendships
  • Make everyday life more exciting and connected

Whether you prefer bustling markets or quiet walks in the park, our team will support you to find and enjoy experiences that light you up.

Real stories

Support that shows.

Different to other providers I've used in the past.

A friend told me about Unify and I was like, yeah, another provider, whatever. But the first phone call felt different. They were kind, respectful, and actually asked me what I wanted. I feel heard for the first time in years.

Everything's easier now.

Life with a disability has enough challenges already. Since working with Unify, I’ve got regular therapy that fits around work, a coordinator who checks in weekly, and support workers that actually care.
