Daily personal support

Everyday care is personal. We take time to understand the routines you want to keep, the tasks you would like help with and how you prefer to communicate. Personal support is available across Greater Melbourne, Melbourne’s western suburbs, Wyndham and Geelong, with arrangements agreed around your needs.

Support for your everyday life

Start your day in a way that feels right for you. Help with personal care and familiar routines, guided by your comfort, privacy and choices.

  • Showering and personal hygiene

    Assistance with agreed washing and grooming routines, at a pace that feels comfortable.

  • Dressing and getting ready

    Help to choose clothing, dress and prepare for the day while respecting your decisions.

  • Toileting routines

    Sensitive assistance with everyday toileting needs within your agreed support arrangements.

  • Everyday mealtime support

    Practical assistance with eating and drinking where it is suitable for your needs and the agreed support scope.

  • Following a familiar routine

    Prompts and assistance to move through personal tasks in the order and way you prefer.

We agree on the activities, suitability and scope with you before support begins.

A personal approach to your support

AN ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE

You might want help with showering and dressing before a morning activity, while choosing your own clothes and preparing your own breakfast. An agreed routine can leave space for those choices and identify exactly where assistance is useful.

Support shaped around you

The right support begins with understanding your goals, the things that matter to you and how you prefer to be supported.

Help getting ready

You would like assistance with personal care in the morning, evening or another part of your day.

Care that respects your privacy

You want your preferences, personal boundaries and communication needs understood before support begins.

Keeping your independence

You want to do the parts you can yourself, with practical help for the tasks that are difficult.

Your personal preferences

Discuss privacy, cultural preferences, communication and any preferences about the person supporting you.

The right assistance

We clarify the tasks involved, any relevant care instructions and whether the support can be delivered safely.

Visits around your routine

Share your suburb and preferred visit times so we can discuss availability and how support would fit into your day.

Making support work for you

We discuss the details together, so you know what to expect before you decide.

Funding and costs

Personal support needs to relate to your disability and fit the supports and funding in your NDIS plan. We discuss the proposed tasks and relevant payment arrangements before you agree to a service.

Your service agreement will set out the agreed assistance, visit arrangements and costs. Any change to the help you need should be discussed so the arrangements remain suitable.

Before you decide, we explain your service agreement, how to request changes and how to give feedback.

We support people across Greater Melbourne, including Melbourne’s western suburbs, Wyndham, Point Cook, Werribee, Tarneit and Truganina, as well as Geelong. Tell us your suburb so we can confirm local availability.

YOUR NEXT STEP

How do I get started?

  1. Tell us what you need

    Share your goals, suburb and preferred way to contact you. You can involve someone you trust.

  2. Agree on the details

    Together, we confirm suitable support, available times, funding and costs. We explain the service agreement before you decide.

  3. Start with a clear plan

    Once you agree, we arrange the first visit and explain how to ask questions, give feedback or change your support.

You can contact us yourself, or ask a family member, carer or support coordinator to help. An enquiry does not book a service.
