Innovative Community Participation (ICP)
Innovative Community Participation (ICP)
Deepen your connections. Discover your passions. Thrive in your community.
At Advance Nursing, we believe that true wellbeing comes from more than just meeting daily needs—it’s about living a life full of purpose, connection, and growth. That’s why we proudly support participants through NDIS Innovative Community Participation (ICP), a unique program designed to open doors to new opportunities, experiences, and meaningful community involvement.
What Is Innovative Community Participation?
Innovative Community Participation (ICP) is a forward-thinking NDIS initiative designed to enrich how participants engage with their communities. It goes beyond traditional day-to-day supports, offering goal-focused, creative activities that build real-world skills and meaningful social connections.
ICP is a bold expansion of NDIS community participation supports, falling under Capacity Building – Increased Social and Community Participation. It embraces creativity, flexibility, and personalization to empower participants to engage in activities that matter to them.
Examples include:
• Exploring arts, culture, or sports in community settings
• Joining social or creative clubs like cooking, drama, or radio
• Mentoring for self-awareness, emotional regulation, and relationship-building
Why It Matters — Beyond “Day Programs”
The NDIS acknowledges that social and community participation is more than attendance—it’s about:
• Building confidence and a sense of belonging
• Enhancing independence and self-worth
• Developing practical life skills through creative and community-based experience
Recent research (via NDIS guides) highlights that engaging in interests—from art and sports to community events—leads to improved communication, friendships, and overall wellbeing.
How Innovative Community Participation Works
ICP is all about person-led reinvention of how supports are delivered:
Tailored Activities: You choose activities that align with your passions—supported by skilled practitioners.
Side-by-Side Support: Go with someone who can adapt to your pace, guide communication, or help you navigate new environments.
Capacity Building: Every activity helps build independence and resilience for long-term participation.
