Community Access Services
Supporting You to Stay Active, Connected, and Engaged in Your Community
We believe strong community connections are essential for wellbeing, confidence, and long-term independence.
At National Community Assistance Services (Tenax Supports), our Community Access Services help NDIS participants take part in everyday activities, build social connections, and enjoy meaningful experiences in their local community.
Whether it’s attending appointments, joining social groups, exploring hobbies, or developing confidence in public settings, our compassionate support workers are here to help you live a full and independent life beyond your home.
These supports aim to:
- Reduce social isolation

Supports are always tailored to your goals, interests, and abilities. Our team can also connect you with broader community services and social services that suit your goals.
