Community Access
Helping men step out, connect, and live life on their terms
At Brothers Support Network, Community Access isn’t just about getting from A to B, it’s about building confidence, creating experiences, making memories and supporting men to live with passion, freedom, purpose, and connection.
Whether it’s going to the gym, catching public transport, attending appointments, or joining a local event, our team is there to walk beside each participant, offering practical support, genuine encouragement, and a sense of mateship every step of the way.
What is Community Access?
Community Access is an NDIS funded support designed to help participants engage with their local community and build everyday life skills. For many young men, this support opens the door to a more independent, social, and fulfilling life.
​
We work with young males living with:
​
-
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD – Level 1 to 3)
-
Acquired Brain Injuries (ABI)
-
Psychosocial Disabilities
-
Vision Impairments
-
Other cognitive or developmental challenges
Our approach is always person-centred, male-focused, and outcome-driven.
