Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about NDIS daily living support
What is NDIS daily living support?
NDIS daily living support helps people with disability complete everyday tasks like personal care, meal preparation, and household activities. It's funded under Core Supports - Assistance with Daily Life category.
How much does NDIS daily living support cost?
The NDIS price limit for standard weekday daytime support is $70.23/hour. High-intensity support is $75.98/hour. Weekend and evening rates are higher. Your plan funding covers these costs.
Who is eligible for daily living support under NDIS?
NDIS participants whose disability affects their ability to complete daily tasks independently may be eligible. Eligibility is based on functional impact, not diagnosis alone.
What's the difference between support work and support coordination?
Support workers provide hands-on help with daily tasks (personal care, meals, activities). Support coordinators manage your NDIS plan, connect you with providers, and handle paperwork - they don't provide direct care.
Can I choose my own support worker?
