Living independently doesn’t mean doing everything on your own—it means having the right support in place when you need it. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) offers a wide range of daily living supports to help participants maintain their independence, stay safe, and enjoy a better quality of life.
At Here to Thrive, we work closely with participants to ensure their everyday needs are met through high-quality, person-centred support. Below are the top 5 daily living supports the NDIS can fund—and how they can benefit you.
1. Assistance with Personal Care
Personal care is one of the most commonly funded supports under the NDIS. This includes help with:
- Showering and grooming
- Dressing and hygiene
- Toileting and continence care
- Mobility assistance within the home
Having support with these essential tasks can restore dignity and ensure your day starts smoothly and safely.
2. Meal Preparation and Nutrition Support
Eating well is vital for your health and energy. The NDIS may fund support workers to help with:
- Meal planning and grocery shopping
- Meal preparation and cooking
- Guidance on nutrition and dietary needs
This support ensures participants maintain a healthy diet, especially if they face physical or cognitive challenges with food preparation.
3. Household Tasks and Domestic Assistance
Keeping your home safe and clean is important for your comfort and wellbeing. The NDIS can fund:
- Cleaning and laundry services
- Dishwashing and general tidying
- Bed making and linen changes
- Ironing and vacuuming
At Here to Thrive, our team delivers reliable and respectful assistance that keeps your environment in top shape.
4. Community Access and Transport Assistance
Staying connected to your community can reduce isolation and improve mental health. The NDIS provides support for:
- Transport to appointments or social activities
- Accompaniment to shopping or outings
- Support in using public transport safely
We empower participants to stay active, connected, and involved in the community.
5. Support with Daily Planning and Time Management
For some participants, managing a routine can be challenging. The NDIS may fund supports that help with:
- Setting and remembering appointments
- Creating structured daily routines
- Goal setting and monitoring
This kind of support helps you stay on track and feel more in control of your day.
Why These Supports Matter
