What is Assistance with Daily Life

Assistance with Daily Life is a type of support provided under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) to help individuals with disabilities live more independently. It covers a range of personal and household tasks that may be challenging due to a disability. This support can include assistance with activities such as bathing, dressing, eating, cleaning, laundry, and participating in community activities. The specific support provided will depend on an individual’s unique needs and goals, as outlined in their NDIS plan.

NDIS Assistance with Daily Life is designed to support individuals with disabilities in living as independently as possible. This funding can cover a range of personal tasks that you may find challenging due to your disability. Here are some examples of the types of support that might be included under this category:

NDIS Assistance with Daily Life is primarily designed to support individuals with disabilities in completing personal and household tasks that they find challenging due to their disability. However, certain things are generally not covered under this funding category.

High-intensity Support: If your support needs require a high level of care or supervision, such as 24/7 support, this may fall outside the scope of Assistance with Daily Life.

Therapy or Rehabilitation: While NDIS can fund therapy and rehabilitation services, these are typically separate funding categories and may not be included under Assistance with Daily Life.

Transport: While Assistance with Daily Life can sometimes include support with using public transport or other transportation options, it generally doesn’t cover the cost of transport itself.

Home Modifications: If you require home modifications to make your living space more accessible, these are typically funded under a separate category called Home Modifications.
