Celebrating Community Access and Shared Experiences! At WCIG NDIS, we believe that community access is about more than just getting out and about—it's about creating memorable moments and meaningful connections. Recently, Lynne and her wonderful support worker, Bianca, have been making the most of this! From enjoying the thrill of the footy 🏉 to singing along at an Elvis show 🎶, Lynne’s journey is filled with fun, laughter, and unforgettable experiences. These moments are about much more than entertainment; they’re about building confidence, fostering friendships, and feeling truly connected to the community.
