Adelaide is home to a vibrant and inclusive community that embraces individuals of all abilities, offering a variety of accessible events designed to encourage participation and engagement for people with disabilities. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) plays a crucial role in funding these activities, promoting social inclusion and personal growth as integral components of South Australian disability care. At Cura, we believe that community participation is essential to living a fulfilling, independent life, and we are committed to helping individuals access these opportunities.

Through the NDIS, participants can explore an array of accessible events across Adelaide, including sports, arts, and cultural activities that cater to diverse interests and preferences. Whether it’s joining a wheelchair basketball team, attending inclusive music festivals, or participating in community workshops, these events foster a sense of belonging and empowerment among participants. They provide opportunities to build social connections, enhance life skills, and experience the joy of engaging with others in a supportive environment.

Moreover, the NDIS can assist with the necessary funding for transportation and support services, ensuring that participants can access these activities comfortably and safely. This funding can cover everything from travel expenses to personal support during events, making it easier for individuals to step outside their homes and immerse themselves in the community.

By participating in accessible events, individuals not only enjoy recreational activities but also develop confidence and independence. Embracing these opportunities enriches lives, allowing people with disabilities to contribute to their communities meaningfully. Through the NDIS, Adelaide’s inclusive events become gateways for personal growth, connection, and empowerment, demonstrating that everyone can play a vital role in the community.

Here are some ways the NDIS can help you get involved in accessible events across Adelaide:
