About daily living and in-home support

Assistance with daily living is support with the everyday tasks that help you live the way you want at home. It can include help with personal routines, preparing meals, and keeping on top of household tasks.

The support is shaped around you. You decide what you want help with, when it happens, and how it's done — and that can change as your needs or routines change.

Who it's for

  • Participants who want support to live more independently at home
  • People who need help with routines such as getting ready in the morning
  • Families looking for reliable in-home support for someone they care for
  • Participants returning home after a change in health or circumstances

Funding

How funding usually works

Usually funded under: Core Supports — Assistance with Daily Life

Daily living support is usually funded from the Core Supports budget in your plan, under Assistance with Daily Life. Core funding is often flexible, so it can be used across different everyday supports.

How much support your plan funds depends on your assessed needs. If your needs change, you can ask for a plan reassessment.

General NDIS information. Your own plan decides what is funded — check it, or ask your plan manager, support coordinator or the NDIA (1800 800 110).

Questions

Common questions

What's the difference between daily living support and personal care?

Personal care is one part of daily living support — help with things like showering and dressing. Daily living support also covers meals, household tasks and routines. Our support workers page covers personal care in more detail.

Can daily living support happen at times that suit me?

Yes. Support is scheduled around your routine. Tell us when you need it and we'll talk through what's possible.

Which part of my plan pays for this?

Usually Core Supports, under Assistance with Daily Life. If you're unsure, we can look at your plan with you.
