Embedded Files
Daily living skills encompass essential tasks such as cooking, budgeting, cleaning, and shopping. Support in these areas can empower individuals to perform these tasks independently, enhancing their self-sufficiency and confidence in daily life.
Focus on Enhanced Dignity and Self-Esteem in Personal Care: Beyond basic assistance, our daily personal activities support aims to enhance dignity and self-esteem by increasing control over routines.
Daily personal activities
Supports that provide supervision or assistance with personal daily living tasks to help a participant to live as independently as possible in their own home and in their own home and in the community.
Daily Personal Care Support:
Assistance with bathing, showering, hair washing, and nail care.
Support with dressing and toileting.
Help with eating and drinking, including modified diets and feeding assistance.
Assistance with moving and positioning, including transfers and mobility within the home.
Personal Household Tasks
Supports that provides assistance with essential household tasks that a participant is not able to do themselves of their disability.
Meal preparation and delivery, this support item is for assistance with the cost of the preparation and delivery of food to participants who are unable to do this for themselves and are not in receipt of other supports that would meet the same need. The cost of food itself is not covered by the NDIS.
House or yard maintenance
Cleaning and laundry linen services, this support item is for the provision of clean linen to a participant who is unable to do their own laundry without assistance.
Transportation & Travel
Getting where you need to go is essential. We assist with transportation arrangements for medical appointments, work, education, and social activities. This includes:
General transport for trips to community activities or appointments, such as paying providers to ensure access to essential services.
Travel training to help you build confidence and skills to use public transport independently.
What is not covered by NDIS Assistance for Daily Life funding?
‘Everyday costs’ will not be covered by your NDIS funding, for this category or others. This means costs that everyone must pay, for items or services not directly related to your disability needs. Some examples of this include:
Rent, board or mortgage payments.
Food or grocery bills (including delivered meals).
Personal care and toiletry items unrelated to your disability.
Household items like cleaning supplies.
Entertainment and event tickets (such as concerts, movies, and other recreational activities).
Reducing Caregiver Burden through Practical Support: We differentiate by explicitly stating benefits like reduced caregiver burden in areas such as household tasks and overnight support.
