How we can help

Everyday tasks can sometimes be challenging.

Our Assistance with Daily Life (ADL) services are designed to help you manage day-to-day tasks and live as independently as possible.

If you need help with personal care, household chores, or navigating your daily routine, we provide caring and professional support tailored to your particular needs.

 

Here are some of the things we can help you with:

  • Personal care – assistance with showering, dressing, grooming, and toileting.
  • Household tasks – help with cleaning, laundry, meal preparation, and maintaining your living space.
  • Daily routine support – guidance and assistance with managing your daily schedule and tasks, including help getting you to your appointments.
  • Community access – support to help you engage with your community and participate in activities. This includes taking you to places or riding with you on public transport.

Our goal is to help you to live as independently as possible while ensuring your safety, comfort, and dignity.

Assistance with Daily Life FAQs

Assistance with Daily Life is funded under the NDIS Core Supports category and focuses on providing help with personal tasks and day-to-day activities, either in your home or community. Supported Independent Living (SIL), on the other hand, is a higher-level support that provides 24/7 assistance in a shared living environment to help participants live as independently as possible.

Assistance with Daily Life is part of the Core Supports budget in your NDIS plan. Speak with your Support Coordinator or Planner to confirm if this support is included in your plan.

Yes, our team can provide services in your own home, and also when you are out and about in your community. You decide where and when you would like some help.

These services can be delivered in a range of environments, including your own home, a shared living arrangement, or within the community.
