Assistance with daily living

It is designed to assist individuals with disabilities in performing their daily activities and tasks, enabling them to live as independently as possible. The goal of this support category is to enhance an individual's functional capacity and participation in daily life.

The specific supports and services provided under Assistance with Daily Living are determined based on the individual’s disability-related needs, goals, and preferences. An individual’s NDIS plan is developed in collaboration with the person, their support network, and their NDIS planner or support coordinator to determine the appropriate level of support required. It’s important to note that eligibility for Assistance with Daily Living is determined based on the individual’s functional capacity and the impact of their disability on their daily living activities.
