Core supports are a crucial part of the NDIS funding. With core supports, you get help with your everyday activities, your current disability-related requirements, and your NDIS goals.
While your budget for core supports allows you to fund some crucial support areas, you need a support provider who can provide the necessary support on budget. At Personalised Support Services, we offer core support services that are tailored to your specific needs.
Before exploring the services, let’s understand the fundamentals first.
What Is NDIS Core Support?
NDIS core support is perhaps the most crucial of NDIS support categories. It helps NDIS participants with everyday activities (including personal care and domestic tasks), their disability-related needs, and working towards achieving the goals in their NDIS plan.
Core support has been introduced to NDIS plans to help you participate in your community. It also covers transportation costs if you are unable to use public transport. Being the most flexible NDIS support category, it allows you to move your support budget from one NDIS core support category to another to meet your needs and aspirations.
Types of Core Support Services We Offer
At Personalised Support Services, we have skilled individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds to help you with your specific needs. Our services are designed to cater to different support requirements so that you can fulfil your goals. Our core support services include the following:
Assistance with Daily Living
As a part of your core support plan, our support workers help you with everyday tasks at home. These tasks include:
- House cleaning
- Household chores (such as laundry)
- Gardening/yard maintenance
- Meal preparation (cooking for you at home)
- Personal care, grooming, hygiene (which includes helping you shower and with your personal care routines)
- Overnight sleepover support or assistance from a live-in caregiver
Social and Community Participation
This type of core support service aims to help you engage in social or recreational activities. The goal is to get you more involved in your community. This type of service involves a support worker transporting you to an activity in the community so that you can participate with others.
If you need support to access a course or activity that is non-disability specific, NDIS funding can be used to cover the cost of a support worker who helps you access and engage in these activities. The fund, however, will not cover the activity itself.
Transport Assistance
If your disability makes it challenging for you to travel, our transport assistance services can help you get around. Our support workers can assist you in travelling to work or other places that will help you pursue the goals in your NDIS plan.
Things the NDIS generally do not fund include:
- Travel for other members of the family, caregivers, or service providers
- Transport to everyday commitments (like college)
Consumables Support
As a part of our core support for NDIS participants, our team also helps you with consumables. The support service includes the following:
- Continence Support: This part involves funding products related to continence and toileting management. Some common examples are catheters, pads, bed and chair protection, urinals, and bedpans.
- Nutrition: This part of the support service funds enteral feeding, supplements, thickeners, etc.
- Skin/Wound Care: Our skilled individuals help treat any pressure injuries, wounds, or skin conditions related to your disability. The support includes funding for dressings, bandages, pressure care aids, etc.
- Low-Cost Assistive Technology: The support also covers the funding of items priced under $1500 that you need to enhance your independence and/or safety while receiving support. Some examples of these items include a shower stool, a long-handled sponge, a chopping aid, a leg lifter, a jar opener, etc.
