Assistance With Daily Life Living NDIS

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australian government initiative that provides support and services to individuals with disabilities. Under the NDIS, participants can receive funding for various supports, including assistance with daily living, to enhance their independence and quality of life.

Assistance with daily living, also known as personal care support, is one of the core supports funded by the NDIS. This support aims to help individuals with disabilities with their daily activities, enabling them to participate in their communities and pursue their goals. The specific types of assistance with daily living that can be funded under the NDIS vary based on individual needs and goals, and they are determined through the planning process.

Here are some examples of assistance with daily living that can be funded under the NDIS:

1. Personal Care: Assistance with tasks such as bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and personal hygiene.

2. Mobility and Transfers: Support with mobility, including assistance with transfers between different locations (e.g., bed to wheelchair) and using mobility aids.

3. Meal Preparation and Eating: Assistance with meal planning, preparation, and support with eating and drinking.

4. Household Tasks: Help with household chores such as cleaning, laundry, and maintaining a safe living environment.

5. Medication Management: Support with managing and administering medications as prescribed by a healthcare professional.

6. Community Access and Social Participation: Assistance with participating in community activities, accessing community facilities, and engaging in social events.

7. Support with Communication: Aid with communication skills and techniques, including the use of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices or strategies.

8. Therapeutic Supports: Assistance with engaging in therapeutic activities, such as following a prescribed exercise routine or implementing strategies recommended by a therapist.
