Personal care with dignity
Discuss assistance with getting ready, showering, dressing, grooming and other personal routines. Explain how you prefer to be supported, including privacy, communication and worker preferences.
Support around the household
Daily living assistance may include meal preparation, household tasks and support to organise a routine. Agree the tasks and hours that match your needs and funding arrangements.
Build on what you want to do
For participants with intellectual disability, autism, physical disability or other support needs, planning should reflect the individual. A diagnosis does not describe someone’s abilities, goals or preferred way of receiving help.
When daily support is more complex
If personal care involves nursing tasks, transfers, equipment or high intensity activities, tell the team before arranging support. The required skills and plans must be confirmed for those tasks.
