Everyday tasks can sometimes feel challenging, especially when managing them alone. Daily Living Support under NDIS is designed to help you with the activities that happen at home and in your community, while also supporting you to build confidence, routine, and independence. This support is flexible and shaped around your abilities, interests, and goals.
What Is Included in Daily Living Support under NDIS?
Daily living support focuses on the tasks that help you live your daily life comfortably, safely, and with confidence. These needs are different for each person, so support is always person-centred. The aim is to provide help where it is needed, while gently encouraging you to develop and maintain your own skills over time.
Support can be offered at home, in shared accommodation, or out in the community depending on what your daily routine looks like.
Examples of Daily Living Support:
| Support Area | What It May Include |
|---|---|
| Personal Care | Showering, grooming, dressing, toileting |
| Household Tasks | Cleaning, laundry, meal preparation |
| Meal Support | Cooking together, planning healthy meals |
| Routine & Life Skills | Time management, money skills, communication |
| Community Participation | Appointments, social events, grocery shopping |
The goal is not to replace your independence, but to support you while you build it.

Example: Building Independence at Your Own Pace | Daily Living Support under NDIS
Sometimes progress begins with something simple. For example, one of our participants used to feel overwhelmed by preparing meals. Cooking felt stressful, and deciding what to make each day was difficult. Instead of taking over the task, a support worker began making meals together with them, step by step.
At first, the support worker handled most of the tasks.
Over time, they worked together to:
- choose meals for the week
- write a small shopping list
- learn how to chop vegetables safely
- cook one dish slowly and calmly
After a few weeks, the participant was able to prepare some parts of the meal independently. Now, they feel more confident in the kitchen and look forward to making food they enjoy.
This is what Daily Living Support under NDIS looks like in real life. It is not about rushing. It is not about doing things perfectly. It is about supporting you in a way that feels comfortable, steady, and respectful.
