A hand with the everyday — never a takeover
Daily Living & Personal Care is hands-on help with the everyday tasks of life, delivered in your home and community. The goal is never to do everything for you — it is to make daily life comfortable, safe and as independent as you want it to be.
Personal care, with dignity
Showering, dressing, grooming and toileting — always private, patient and respectful.
Meals & nutrition
Planning, shopping and cooking — building kitchen confidence along the way.
Health & medication
Medication prompts, appointment support and coordination with your health team.
Building your skills
Where you want it, we help you learn to do more yourself — at your pace, on your terms.
Everything the everyday needs.
Take what helps, leave what does not. Your support is shaped entirely around your day.
Daily living support is likely a good fit if…
- You need a hand with personal care or everyday tasks at home.
- You want to live independently, with support for the harder parts.
- You would like flexible help — a few hours a week or every day.
- You want to build skills and confidence to do more yourself over time.
- A carer needs support to keep the everyday sustainable.
A different support may suit better if…
- You need round-the-clock or overnight support in a home — look at SIL or 24/7 Care.
- You mainly need help coordinating your plan — that is Support Coordination.
- You need complex clinical care — look at Nursing Care or High-Intensity Personal Care.
- You want a specialist accessible home — that is SDA.
Not sure how many hours or what kind of help you need? A free Meet & Greet will map it out with you — honestly, and with no pressure.
How daily living support is funded
Daily living and personal care is funded from your Core Supports budget — the most flexible part of your plan. Here is how it works.
Funded from Core
Personal care and daily living come from your Core Supports (Assistance with Daily Life) budget.
Flexible hours
Use the hours the way that suits you — a few a week, mornings and evenings, or daily.
You choose your workers
Matched, screened workers you meet first — and can change if the fit is not right.
Toward independence
Where you want it, we help you build skills so you need less support over time.
Funded from: Core Supports — Assistance with Daily Life.
Flexible: From a few hours a week up to daily support, shaped around you.
You cover: Everyday living costs (food, bills) — support hours are funded.
The goal: Comfort, safety and as much independence as you want.
