What is Assistance with Daily Life
NDIS Assistance with Daily Life is a funding sub-category under Core Supports. The aim of this NDIS budget is to cover the support you need in everyday personal activities so that you can live as independently as possible in your home and community.
As each person living with a disability has different needs, the type of daily support participants receive will vary from person to person. Assistance with Daily Life NDIS support is therefore tailored to you and your unique needs. This way everyone receives the level of help they require to lead a more independent life.
