Personal Care supports and activities

Assistance with Domestic Activities

Domestic activities include duties around the home and yard, such as cleaning, meal preparation, gardening, and a variety of other tasks depending on the client’s requirements. This support is particularly beneficial for individuals who require help maintaining their home environment based on their needs and level of ability.Participants may also receive help attending appointments and using aids or appliances, including hearing and communication devices. 

Mobility support is an important part of care, with assistance provided for moving in and out of bed, transferring on and off the toilet, and general movement. Where required, support may also include the application of splints and basic first aid for minor injuries related to a participant’s disability.

These supports can be delivered across a range of settings, including in the participant’s home, with family, or in shared living arrangements. Assistance is also available during social, recreational, educational, and employment activities, as well as when participants are travelling or on holidays.

Overall, assistance with personal activities is designed to enhance quality of life by supporting individuals with disabilities to maintain independence, dignity, and well-being while carrying out their everyday tasks.
