Every Wednesday,
we head out together.
For the next nine Wednesdays, the group is at Perry Park: the same group of faces, a regular weekly rhythm and a welcoming way to get involved. New participants can enquire before attending.
NDIS group activities, every Wednesday
Every Wednesday, a group of NDIS participants and Tegrity workers meet together. For the current nine-week block, that place is Perry Park. You will see the same faces week after week — that’s the point: community support that actually builds community, rather than just ticking the box.
There is no “program” in the structured-activities sense. Outings are chosen based on what the group enjoys. We have been to Darling Harbour, the Art Gallery of NSW, Newtown, Marrickville, Leichhardt, Bankstown, Tempe, Botany, Bondi beach, and the Manly ferry — among many others. Some weeks it’s bowling. Some weeks it’s a barbecue by the water. Footy games when the season runs.
Who it’s for
The Wednesday rec group is open to current Tegrity participants and to new faces. If you are trying to decide whether Tegrity is the right fit, joining a Wednesday outing is the lowest-pressure way to meet us. You come along, see how we work, meet the workers and participants, and there is no commitment required. Several of our longest-running participants started with a Wednesday outing before signing a service agreement.
The group is designed for adults with NDIS plans who want regular social activities and community access — not as a replacement for individual support work, but as a complement to it. If you’re still setting up your plan, our support coordination team can help you build the group into it. And if you’re weighing up options beyond Tegrity, our guide to disability social groups in Sydney and making friends covers what else is out there.

How is it funded?
Disability-related support-worker time for the Wednesday group may be claimable when your plan includes the relevant social and community participation support and the service meets current NDIS rules. Our guide to NDIS community participation funding explains what may be covered and what usually is not. Ordinary food, entry and activity costs are not automatically funded. Your plan manager, support coordinator or my NDIS contact can help you check the plan; Tegrity will explain the proposed support item and rate before service starts.
Group and centre-based activities — without the centre
If your plan or plan manager talks about “group and centre based activities,” this is that support — delivered out in the community instead of inside a building. Tegrity doesn’t run a day centre. Our group activities happen where Sydney actually happens: parks, beaches, galleries, bowling alleys, pickleball courts. Same funding category, better view.
Looking for an NDIS day program in Sydney?
Plenty of people search for a “day program” when what they really want is a reliable weekly plan for getting out and doing things with other people. That’s exactly what the Wednesday rec group is — a standing weekly group activity with the same crew, without a fixed centre timetable. If you’re comparing day programs, come along one Wednesday first and see how it feels. And if you want one-to-one support on other days, our community participation support works alongside the group.
An NDIS social group across our listed Sydney service areas
The Wednesday rec group is a regular NDIS social group with familiar faces and a consistent place to meet. For the current nine-week block, it is based at Perry Park every Wednesday from 12 August to 7 October 2026.
Outside this current block, the group may take part in a range of community activities such as pickleball, coastal and park walks, bowling, museum and gallery visits, community catch-ups, and harbour and beach outings. Contact us for the current program rather than relying on a past itinerary.
New participants are welcome to enquire from across our listed Sydney service areas. We will confirm the current Perry Park session details and talk through whether the group suits your goals and support needs before you attend.
Tegrity is Aboriginal-owned, and the Wednesday group is designed to be culturally safe. That matters to some participants and families, and it’s part of who we are — but the group is open to everyone. You don’t need to be Aboriginal to join. Get in touch to check the next outing, accessibility and current capacity.
Moments from the group
Wednesday rec group — common questions
How is the Wednesday rec group funded?
Outings are funded through your NDIS Core budget under community participation support (item code 04_). If you have Core funding for social and community participation, this is one of the best ways to use it. Your plan manager can confirm your eligibility, or call us on (02) 7265 1558 and we’ll check your plan together.
Do I have to be a Tegrity participant to join?
No. The group is open to current Tegrity participants and to new faces. Coming along to a Wednesday outing is the lowest-pressure way to meet us, with no commitment required.
Who is the rec group for?
Adults with an NDIS plan who want regular social activities and community access. It’s designed to complement individual support work, not replace it.
When and where does it run?
For the next nine Wednesdays, from 12 August to 7 October 2026, the group meets at Perry Park. Contact us before attending and we’ll confirm the current session details and meeting arrangements.
Is this an NDIS social group — and who can join?
You do not need to be an existing Tegrity participant to enquire. We will talk through your goals, support needs, funding or private-payment options, accessibility and current capacity before confirming attendance. The current block meets at Perry Park every Wednesday from 12 August to 7 October 2026.
Is the rec group a day program?
It does the job many people want from a day program — a regular weekly group activity with familiar faces — but it is delivered in the community. For the current nine-week block, the group meets at Perry Park every Wednesday. Funding depends on your individual plan and goals.
Which Sydney areas does the group cover?
The group moves around Sydney each week. We regularly visit locations across the Inner West (Newtown, Marrickville, Leichhardt, Glebe), City of Sydney (CBD, Surry Hills, Darlinghurst, Darling Harbour) and Eastern Suburbs (Bondi, Coogee, Randwick). Past outings have also taken us to the northern beaches (Manly ferry) and other spots around Sydney. The destination each week depends on what the group wants to do — ask us and we’ll let you know where we’re headed.
Does the group play pickleball?
Yes — pickleball is one of the activities the Wednesday rec group has done and enjoyed. All abilities are welcome and no experience is needed. The group tries a range of activities each week, so not every Wednesday is pickleball, but it’s part of the regular mix. If you’re specifically keen on pickleball, get in touch and we can let you know when the next pickleball session is coming up.
Is the group culturally safe — and is Tegrity Aboriginal-owned?
Tegrity is Aboriginal-owned, and the Wednesday rec group is designed to be a culturally safe space where everyone is respected. That can be meaningful for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participants and families who want a service that understands their community. The group is open to everyone regardless of background. If cultural safety matters to you or someone you support, you’re welcome to call us and ask how we work.
