Staying connected to your community is a vital part of living a happy, healthy life. At Little Lantern Group, our Community Access service supports NDIS participants to get involved, make new connections, and enjoy meaningful activities outside the home. Whether it’s joining a local group, attending events, or simply exploring new places, our team is here to provide the support and encouragement you need to participate with confidence. With Little Lantern Group, community isn’t just a place—it’s a part of your journey toward greater inclusion, independence, and joy.
Empowering Participation in Everyday Life
Access to community and family is not just a service under the NDIS or Child Safety—it is a fundamental human right that shapes the well-being, dignity, and long-term outcomes of individuals living with disability and children in protective care. For participants engaged with Little Lantern Group, a trauma-informed and culturally responsive provider, ensuring community access under the NDIS means more than transportation or attending events; it’s about empowering people to build relationships, develop independence, and participate meaningfully in society without barriers. Likewise, family access under Child Safety must be treated as a vital component of healing, identity preservation, and stability for children—especially where reunification is possible or kinship connections are critical. Little Lantern Group bridges these areas with tailored support that nurtures trust, emotional safety, and genuine inclusion, ensuring both children and individuals with disability are not merely managed by systems but seen, heard, and connected to the relationships and communities that allow them to thrive. For lasting change, agencies must collaborate with community-led groups like Little Lantern to make access not only available but truly accessible, consistent, and empowering.
