NDIS Assistance with Daily Life

Daily living NDIS assistance covers personal tasks like showering and grooming, dressing, toileting, eating and moving around. It also includes laundry and home cleaning.

The need for daily life NDIS assistance is assessed on a case-by-case basis and will be included in your plan if it’s deemed reasonable and necessary to meet your goals. Your planner will discuss this with you at your planning meeting.

Getting Out of Bed


Daily living activities include taking a shower, dressing, grooming, eating and moving around. NDIS Improved Daily Living supports can help you learn how to do these activities yourself.

Healthcare Request can teach you to cook a meal you enjoy, basic cleaning skills to keep your home organised and even how to grow vegetables in your garden. We can also support you to manage your own NDIS plan and budget, find the best providers, pay invoices and manage reimbursements.

The NDIS Assistance with daily life is a funding sub-category of Core Supports. It can be included in your NDIS plan if it’s deemed reasonable and necessary to meet your goals.

Getting Dressed

Daily tasks like grooming, bathing, and dressing can become difficult for people with a disability, especially when they need assistance from others. This is where NDIS daily living can help.

NDIS daily living support is a sub-category of Core Supports that helps participants live independently. It is available to individuals with permanent disabilities, giving them the freedom and security of knowing their daily needs are met and they’re moving toward their goals.

NDIS daily life can be self-managed or agency managed. Our friendly team at MiLifeVictoria can provide NDIS Support Coordination that takes the stress out of managing your plan, ensuring it aligns with your goals and preferences.

Getting Ready for the Day

Getting ready to start the day can be challenging for people with disability. But with NDIS assistance with daily living, participants can get help completing daily tasks, working towards goals and manage their current disability-related needs.

Depending on the type of disability, a participant may require support with dressing and bathing. This can be covered by the NDIS as a part of their Core Support budget. NDIS Assistance with daily life can also include domestic assistance, such as cleaning and washing. This can be done by healthcare workers from Healthcare Request, based in the comfort of the participant’s own home. Our care workers are trained to provide quality and consistent assistance with daily activities.

Taking a Bath

If you need assistance with bathing or taking a shower, NDIS Personal Care and Daily Activity Support can help. This type of support is determined on a case-by-case basis, so it’s important to be prepared for your planning meeting by collating supporting evidence such as disability reports and recommendations from your GP that explain why this type of support is'reasonable and necessary' in your situation. At Ahanacare, we specialise in providing NDIS Personal Care and Daily Activity Support services in Perth.

Getting Ready for Bed

A bedtime routine can help you get ready for a good night’s sleep. Try setting aside a specific time each night to do the same things. This can help your brain relax and prepare for sleep.

NDIS Assistance with daily tasks can include support to manage your own plan, which includes identifying and selecting supports, creating a budget, finding providers, managing invoices, and paying reimbursements. This is called self-management capacity building.

The level (and cost) of support funded under this category will depend on your specific support needs. For example, complex needs generally require additional support. The days and times you need support may also impact the level and cost of this type of support.

Getting Ready for the Night

Getting help with day-to-day activities can give you a break from caring responsibilities and make life more manageable. It’s also a great way to build skills and gain confidence in your home.

NDIS Assistance with daily living is a funding sub-category under Core Supports. It can be used for both designing and implementing your new living situation, and for supporting you to live that arrangement.

Your LAC or NDIS Planner will consider your impact statement when discussing if NDIS Assistance with daily life is a good fit for you. You can find more information about writing a carer impact statement in our handy fact sheet.
