What is NDIS Assistance with Daily Life?
NDIS Assistance with Daily Life includes practical support for activities such as personal care, household routines, meal preparation, medication management, and daily planning. This support sits within your NDIS Core Supports budget, alongside services like transport and community participation. These supports help participants maintain independent living, reduce stress, and build NDIS life skills development with Sahima for greater self-sufficiency.
Our experienced NDIS Support workers in Melbourne assist participants with home assistance and daily tasks. Depending on individual needs, participants can also receive support from a personal care assistant or home care assistant, including NDIS short notice support workers for urgent or last-minute needs.
