Daily Activities for NDIS support are all about assistance with daily life, helping participants build independence and confidence in their everyday routines.
Unlocking My Ability knows that for many people with disabilities, simple daily tasks like cooking, cleaning, personal hygiene, or catching public transport can be barriers to independence.
That’s where the Daily Activities for NDIS funding comes in. The funding is designed to provide the right support to help people take charge of their lives, one day at a time, empowering you or your loved one to reach personal goals.
What Does The NDIS Support for Daily Activities Cover?
NDIS support for Daily Activities is all about enhancing your ability to manage everyday tasks, either on your own or with assistance. These supports can be provided in your own home, when you’re out in the community, or within a shared living environment.
Common types of support include:
o Personal care assistance. Such as help with showering, dressing, and grooming.
o Meal preparation. Such as learning to cook healthy, nutritious meals, food preparation, etc.
o Budgeting and shopping. Guidance for managing finances and purchasing groceries or essential items.
o Household tasks. Developing cleaning and laundry skills, or receiving direct support with chores.
o Transport training. Learning to use public transport like buses or taxis safely.
o Time management. Help with planning and organising your daily routines.
o Health management. Including medication reminders or support with attending health appointments.
Whether you need short-term help to build your confidence or ongoing daily assistance, these daily activities for NDIS support are always tailored precisely to your individual needs and goals.
What Support Do You Need?
NDIS funding for Daily Activities typically comes from two distinct areas within an NDIS plan:
Core Supports – Assistance with Daily Living
Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living
While Core Supports often cover personal care tasks or daily supervision, Capacity Building supports are more specifically aimed at helping you acquire new skills for long-term independence.
To be eligible for these supports, they must be deemed “reasonable and necessary” and have a clear link to your NDIS goals. If you require assistance in determining your eligibility, our team at Unlocking My Ability is ready to guide you through your plan and ensure you access the most appropriate supports for your needs.
The Importance of Daily Activities
Developing independence in daily living activities is one of the biggest steps toward leading a more empowered life. With the right support, many participants gain the confidence to move out of home, pursue further education or employment, or simply enjoy more freedom and routine in their day-to-day life.
Benefits of Daily Activities support include:
o Greater independence at home and in the community
o Improved physical and mental wellbeing
o Enhanced social participation
o Increased confidence and self-esteem
o Better outcomes in work, school, or relationships
We’ve seen firsthand how learning a new skill, like managing your own meals or transport, can completely transform how someone feels about their capabilities.
Other NDIS Activities
Beyond daily living, the NDIS funds a wide range of NDIS activities that promote social inclusion, skill development, and community access. These might include attending workshops, group programs, or recreational outings. Daily Activities often work hand-in-hand with these other supports to build a well-rounded, independent lifestyle.
