About This Service
This service provides practical help with the everyday tasks that make independent living possible. It covers assistance at home to ensure daily routines run smoothly. Our support workers help with personal care and domestic chores for participants who need it due to their disability.
For example, the NDIS explicitly funds help with cleaning and laundry when a participant can’t perform these tasks themselves. This means if someone has difficulty bathing, dressing, cooking, or keeping their home tidy, we can step in to assist.
The aim is to support participants’ goals by managing routine tasks safely and respectfully, so they can focus on living life rather than struggling with chores.
Examples of Support
Some examples included in this service would be:
Assistance with personal care (showering, dressing, grooming)
Help with household chores (cleaning floors, doing laundry, making the bed)
Support with meal preparation or organisation (setting up meals)
Running errands (grocery shopping, pharmacy pickups) as needed
Organising daily routine and home environment for safety
Skill-building in home management (teaching how to manage chores independently)
What is Included?
Participants have a support plan that outlines which daily tasks they would like help with. Typically, a support worker visits the home on a set schedule and assists with those tasks.
For example, in one visit, we might help someone shower, get dressed, and prepare breakfast. In another, we might do vacuuming or laundry while the participant does what they can under supervision. We also help plan tasks – such as making a weekly cleaning schedule or shopping list.
Our workers involve participants in the functions as much as possible, to encourage skill development. All help is done with respect for privacy and routines.
By providing this practical assistance, we ensure participants live in a safe, clean environment and learn to manage more of their daily living on their own.
