Assistance with Daily Living and Life Skills

KoalaKare is here to aid individuals with disabilities to complete daily activities around their homes. We fulfill all NDIS worker standards. Our NDIS workers supervise participants and help when doing these tasks. Whether it is inside or outside of their homes, we assist with daily living activities. The core supports we provide help participants increase their independence when performing activities throughout their day-to-day lives.

Individualized Aid from NDIS Support Workers

We provide many services to help participants through challenges in their lives. Improved daily living support can include:

Helping participants with grocery shopping and prepping meals to show the nutrition basics
Assist with personal hygiene tasks like brushing their teeth or showering
Teaching participants how to keep their homes clean by assisting them with any daily chores
Increasing the participant’s ability to travel by showing them how to plan trips and use different forms of public transportation
Helping increase the participant’s ability to advocate for themselves by communicating their needs to service providers and support networks
Transporting the participant to community activities

When offering participants support during their daily activities, we look for measurable results. Nothing brings us more joy than seeing participants succeed and become more confident. Through daily life skill development our support workers partner with participants to achieve greater independence both in their homes and in the community.

Daily living activities not included under improved daily living supports include:

Grocery costs

Utility bills

Vehicle costs

Support not related to your disability such as household budgeting and paying bills

Support appropriately funded by other systems like medical support and hospital support

Available to NDIS Participants 24/7

Whether it is during the day or overnight, our support workers help at any time. We provide active or inactive overnight support. Active overnight support is when participants need assistance throughout the night. Inactive overnight support, or sleepovers, is when our worker’s assistance may or may not be needed. Each participant has different needs, so we are available at any time during the day or night. No matter the level of support, every participant receives high-quality care and respect. We provide you with the same amount of supervision and assistance with daily activities.

Working with Loved Ones and Individuals

We work with your family and support coordination team to determine what core daily activities are appropriate. During this onboarding phase, we set goals for what you want to complete independently over time such as brushing your teeth. Caring for a loved one with a disability can take its toll on a family. As a registered Melbourne NDIS service provider, KoalaKare can provide much needed respite.

Through our core supports like travel and transport, household tasks, and assistance with daily life skills, our caring support workers empower participants to be more independent. We want our support workers to blend in with their participant’s normal home life and build upon existing life skills. We include families during the process to give them relief and a sense of peace while we are providing you care. If your family was not involved with signing up for NDIS support, we work with you and your coordination team.

Living Alone or with Others

When qualifying for NDIS, you have the option to live with others or to live alone. If you want to live with others, you can share a space with other participants you know. Core support is available for those living in shared housing for people with disabilities. You are not required to share support with other participants who live with you. Living on your own is an option for those who would rather be by themselves. Your NDIS support coordinator will help determine the support you need to reach your goal of living independently and build on your life skills.

Improved Personal Daily Living and Life Skill Activities

As an NDIS participant, you can expect quality support from an NDIS service provider like Koala Kare. We can assist you with a variety of core NDIS supports. Our staff is knowledgeable and skilled to assist with daily living activities, household tasks, travel and transport, and daily personal care assistance. It is our commitment to our participants that they feel comfortable, safe, and confident moving toward goals with their independence in mind.
