What is Assistance with Personal Activities?
Assistance with personal activities is an important service provided by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) for people with disability. This service helps NDIS participants to carry out daily activities they may have difficulty performing on their own. It includes assistance with tasks such as personal hygiene, dressing, eating, and mobility.
Accessing assistance with personal activities is easy for NDIS participants. Participants can include this service in their NDIS plan by discussing their needs with their support coordinator or NDIS planner. They can also find registered providers offering this service through the NDIS provider portal or by contacting the NDIS contact centre.
NDIS participants may need and use assistance with personal activities for a variety of reasons. Some participants may have physical disabilities that prevent them from performing personal activities independently, while others may have intellectual or developmental disabilities that make it challenging for them to complete personal tasks. Assistance with personal activities is a vital support for NDIS participants as it enables them to live independently and maintain their dignity and self-esteem.
NDIS participants can get connected and engage with assistance with personal activities services by contacting registered providers in their area. These providers will work with participants to develop a care plan that meets their individual needs and goals. They will also provide ongoing support and guidance to help participants achieve their goals and live the life they want.
