What Is Personal Care?

Personal Care involves assistance with personal activities and daily routines that a participant may find difficult to complete independently due to their disability or support needs.

Our goal is to help participants maintain their dignity, privacy, independence, health, and wellbeing while receiving reliable and respectful support.

Promoting Independence

Our approach is focused on supporting, not replacing, independence.

We encourage participants to take an active role in their personal routines and make their own choices wherever possible. Our support workers provide assistance at the level required while helping participants develop confidence and maintain their skills.

Person-Centred Support

Every participant has different needs, preferences, cultural values, routines, and goals. We tailor Personal Care services to the individual and respect:

• Personal preferences and routines.
• Privacy and dignity.
• Cultural and personal values.
• Communication preferences.
• Choice and control.
• Individual NDIS goals.
• Changing support requirements.
