Understanding NDIS Personal Self-Care Support

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides funding to people with disabilities to support their daily self-care activities. As an NDIS participant, you can choose a registered service provider to deliver professional personal care supports aligned with your plan.

Trained and certified support workers assist with a full range of self-care activities, selected by your NDIS planner or plan manager based on your unique needs and goals. This support helps overcome daily challenges and promotes independence, dignity, and self-respect.

Note: Personal care supports are typically funded under the NDIS Core Supports budget category - Assistance with Daily Living.
