The Queensland Community Support Scheme (QCSS) provides low intensity supports to assist you to live independently and reduce social isolation by increasing connections in your community and providing opportunities to participate. The QCSS can help you get out and about in your community, including:

• shopping, banks or post office

• recreational activities such as local social groups or the library

• finding and linking to other supports, services or activities in the community to increase your independence and connection to your community.

 

​It can also help you at home with things like:

• planning and preparing meals

• household chores

• personal care, such as showering and dressing

• essential yard maintenance to ensure safety in access and mobility around the external environment of the home.

 

To be eligible to apply you need to be:

• under 65 years old, or under 50 years old for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people

• not eligible for the NDIS.
