Frequently Asked Questions
Standard support includes routine personal assistance like hygiene, dressing, and eating. High-intensity care is for participants with complex health needs that require workers with specialised skills or training. This may include things like PEG feeding, catheter or tracheostomy care, seizure monitoring, or pressure care. The type of support you receive depends on your specific health conditions and support plan.
If you need help with personal care, bring it up during your NDIS planning or review meeting. It helps to have reports from doctors, occupational therapists, or other professionals explaining your needs. Be clear about the tasks you need help with and how support will improve your life. If the NDIS agrees, they will include it in your plan as either standard or high-intensity support, depending on your needs.
If your care needs increase- due to health changes, injury, or reduced support from others- you do not need to wait for your plan to expire. You can ask the NDIS for a plan review. This involves providing updated evidence and explaining how your daily life has changed. The NDIS can then adjust your funding to better match your current situation and ensure you continue to receive the right level of support.
Absolutely. Personal care can be delivered in many settings, depending on your lifestyle and goals. This includes your own home, a shared living environment, during community outings, or even while travelling or on holiday. Whether you need assistance getting ready for the day at home or support during activities in the community, NDIS-funded support workers can be there to help you live more independently and confidently.
There is no fixed limit across all participants. The amount of personal care you receive depends entirely on your individual needs, your functional capacity, and the goals outlined in your plan. The NDIS considers how much support you reasonably require, taking into account both your disability and any informal help you already receive. If your needs change, you can request a plan reassessment.
Personal care is focused on your physical care needs, like bathing, dressing, or toileting. Assistance with daily living covers a broader range of activities, such as cleaning, cooking, doing laundry, or managing your household. Both may be funded under your Core Supports budget if they relate to your disability and help you live more independently at home or in the community.

Personal Care and Daily Life Assistance: Compassionate Support for Everyday Living
Living with a disability often means facing challenges in the very routines most people take for granted- showering in the morning, preparing meals, or simply getting dressed with ease. For many NDIS participants, these tasks can feel overwhelming without the right support. Yet, with the right kind of help, daily living does not need to be a barrier. It can become an opportunity to build independence, confidence, and dignity. That is exactly what Personal Care and Daily Life Assistance is designed to provide. At Allcare Excellence, a registered NDIS provider in Melbourne (Registration No. 4-KW9T457), we work alongside participants and their families to make sure everyday life is not just manageable- it is empowering.
