Daily Tasks/Shared Living services under the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) aim to support individuals with disabilities in their daily living activities within shared living arrangements. These services are designed to promote independence, social inclusion, and community participation while ensuring a safe and supportive living environment.
NDIS-funded Daily Tasks/Shared Living services may include assistance with various activities of daily living (ADLs), such as personal care, meal preparation, household chores, laundry, and medication management. Support workers provide hands-on assistance and guidance tailored to the individual’s needs and preferences, empowering them to maintain their independence and dignity.
Furthermore, these services may encompass support with social and recreational activities, including outings, community engagement, and participation in leisure pursuits. Support workers facilitate opportunities for social interaction, skill-building, and personal development, fostering a sense of belonging and connection within the shared living environment.
