One of the budgets within the Core supports area is for assistance with daily living. It includes assistance with daily personal tasks that let you lead the most independent life possible at home and in the community.
This could be living in your own house, living alone, or living in a shared residence like assisted independent living.
The following support categories may be available to you under your NDIS Plan's Assistance with Daily Life section:
Assistance with daily personal activities
Assistance with household tasks
Assistance in shared living arrangements
Supported Independent Living (SIL)
Short Term Accommodation and Assistance (or respite)
Support may be provided at home or in the community.
What is NDIS Core Support?
For individuals with disabilities, their families, and cares, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) can be complicated, but it can offer you and your loved ones the support you need.
With Core Supports, you may manage your present requirements linked to your impairment, do everyday chores, and make progress towards your goals. You can apply your NDIS core support cash to any of the four support categories. Sometimes it can be hard to come up with a flexible financing plan for transportation and consumables.
Eligibility for NDIS funding for daily life assistance
You are qualified for this kind of help if your Core Support budget includes funding for "Assistance with Daily Life." To find out if you currently have financing, look for "Assistance with Daily Life" in your plan or "Daily Activities" in your my place portal. If this funding is already included in your plan, a good plan manager, like Disability Plan Services, will be able to inform you if you qualify for it and how much you've received.
