Community Access
and Activities

Your community, your happy place, NDIS community access support across the Illawarra and Shoalhaven.

This Is Your Time

You choose what you do, where you go, and who you do it with. Our support workers are there to help you get there and feel confident doing it, not to take over or decide for you.

This is your life. We’re just here to walk alongside you.

What is SDA, Exactly

What Community Access Can Look Like

It looks different for everyone, and that’s exactly how it should be.

Some people want to get to a weekly fitness class or a local market. Others want to volunteer, visit friends, explore a hobby, or take part in a cultural event. Some are just starting out and want a gentle first step back into the community.

Whatever feels right for you, we work with your NDIS plan to make it real.

Support That Actually Fits

We take the time to get to know you before anything else. What you enjoy, what makes you nervous, what you’ve always wanted to try.

From there, we match you with a support worker who gets it. Someone warm, reliable, and easy to be around. You won’t feel like just another person here.

Built Around the Illawarra and Shoalhaven

We’re local, our team knows the Wollongong, Dapto, Shellharbour, Kiama, Nowra, and Moss Vale areas well. That means we can point you toward great local activities, community groups, and events you might not have found on your own.

Whether it’s the beach, a community garden, a café, a sports club, or a creative workshop, the Illawarra and Shoalhaven have a lot to offer. Let’s find what’s right for you.

Your Safety Comes First

Going out should feel exciting, not stressful. Every support worker at BB Disability & Mental Health Services is trained, background checked and carefully chosen before they ever work with you.

You will always know who is coming, what the plan is and how to reach us if anything comes up. That is not just a promise. It is how we work every single day.

Community Access Pairs Well With

If you’re also looking at In-Home Support, Support Coordination, or Psychosocial Recovery Coaching, community access often works beautifully alongside those services. A lot of our participants find that getting out regularly makes a real difference to their wellbeing and confidence.

We can look at how your NDIS plan covers this and help you get the most from it.

You Don’t Have to Figure It All Out First

A lot of people come to us unsure of what they want. That’s completely fine. We’ve supported 150+ NDIS participants across the region, and many of them started exactly where you are right now.

We’re a registered NDIS provider, fully accredited, and proud winners of the Health Improvement Award 2025. You’re in good hands.

A Few Things That Make Us Different

Our leadership team comes from a background in mental health social work and mental health nursing. That means we understand the full picture, not just the practical side of getting out, but how it feels, what holds people back, and how to support you through it.

That depth of care is something you’ll notice from the very first conversation.
