Do I Qualify For Personal Care Services Under the NDIS?
There are many factors that the NDIS considers before deciding on your available funding. The support service needs to be reasonable and necessary to help you achieve your goals, purpose, and aspirations. Personal Care Supports are considered by the degree to which they maximise independence and functional skills of the participant or whether alternative arrangement or supports could be met in a less intrusive manner. If aids and equipment with the provision of training are possible alternatives, they may be used to increase your independence. The specifics of your NDIS Plan will determine how you can use the available funds. If you’re not sure if your needs fall under this category, we can help you clarify with the NDIA exactly what is and isn’t covered under your personalised plan.
What Personal Care Services are Available Under NDIS?
Personal Care Supports relate to assistance with daily tasks whether it’s because you live alone, or your disability requires you to have support to perform essential tasks. They can include assistance with or supervision of any personal tasks of daily living.
- Personal hygiene, such as showering, bathing, oral hygiene, dressing and grooming
- Using the toilet, bladder and bowel management
- Eating and drinking
- Attending appointments
- Use of aids and appliances plus hearing and communication devices
- Mobility and transferring, such as getting in and out of bed and on or off the toilet
- Application of splints or basic first aid due to injuries sustained as a result of your disability

Can you use NDIS Funding for Personal Care?

If your ability to perform Personal Care Activities is limited, NDIS can provide you with funding to utilise Maple’s personal care services.
