In-home Support and Assistance with Daily Life
What is NDIS Core Support and Assistance with Daily Living?
This support is specific to the daily activities of a participant based upon their personal needs to live with the daily impairment of their disability and work towards their goals.
In-home supports assist a participant to live as independently as possible at home and in the community with supports such as:
- Daily personal activities, like activities related to personal hygiene; such as bathing and showering.
- Assistance and supervision with dressing.
- A carer to assist and supervise the regularity and daily structure of personal daily tasks.
- Mobility to get in and out of bed.
- Assistance with supporting you to complete cleaning and maintenance of your home.
- Assistance with Respite Care – Short Term Accommodation and Assistance
What is NDIS Capacity Building and Improved Daily Living?
This support is the capacity-building category of NDIS supports and covers the participants’ need for:
- Building independence and autonomy with life skills, such as budgeting skills.
- Navigating with care and support.
- General life skills.
- Counselling.
- Training carers to assist with their personal needs.
- Early childhood interventions.
- Attending appointments.
- Assistance with therapy assessment and supports.
Why are Assistance with Daily Living supports different in each NDIS plan?
- Each NDIS participant’s plan and their need for funded assistance with Daily Living depends on the specific needs of their disability’s impairment and daily functioning.
- If an eligible NDIS participant’s daily impairment is high and complex due to their disability, they will need additional funded supports.
- Also, the time the participant requires support must be considered as weekend support is more expensive under the NDIS price guide.
