Daily Tasks and Shared Living - Empowering Participants With Disabilities

 NDIS Daily Tasks Shared Living services are an integral component of the NDIS, empowering individuals with disabilities through a range of tailored support. This includes assistance with personal care, meal preparation, household chores, and medication management.

At Wattle Supports, we strive to provide expert-level assistance. Our focus on recognizing challenges, embracing diversity, and leveraging technology provides avenues to empowerment and community integration.

Core Supports

Daily Tasks/Shared Living is one of the core support categories within the NDIS. This supports participants in achieving their goals and maintaining their independence. These services can be delivered at home, or in shared accommodation environments. The NDIS defines this category as assisting or supervising daily activities in a shared living environment. This includes things like washing, cleaning and maintenance tasks. These are often tasks that all residents in a shared space need to carry out on a regular basis to maintain a clean and functional environment.

NDIS Daily Tasks/Shared Living services are designed to empower participants to build connections and community engagement, while reducing isolation and stress. The NDIS core support budget is intended to help manage day-to-day disability-related expenses, meet current needs and work toward goals.

Personal Care

Daily Tasks/Shared Living is a key service under the National Disability Insurance Scheme that empowers individuals by offering support for everyday tasks. These may be in the form of assistance with meals or managing medication. The goal is to enable people with disabilities to perform these tasks more independently, boosting their quality of life and helping them build connections within the community.

Depending on the individual’s needs and goals, this can include support with meal planning and preparation, as well as household cleaning and maintenance. This helps them stay healthy, safe and comfortable in their homes. It can also provide respite for family members or carers, reducing the risk of burnout. This is a crucial component of the overall ethos of the NDIS, which seeks to promote independence and encourage community participation for individuals with disabilities.

Household Chores

Assigning household chores that are age appropriate and that fit the skills of each family member can help avoid a lot of frustration + resentment when it comes to tackling them. For example, if your teenage daughter loves or at least doesn’t mind washing the dishes, assigning that task to her may go unnoticed or won’t trigger a fight when chore time rolls around.

Moreover, it helps everyone understand that these chores aren’t about stuff but rather about maintaining the systems we all rely on for home to be a happy + functional space for us all. It also fosters the concept of teamwork + shared responsibility that is essential to a healthy relationship with oneself + others.

Medication Management

Daily Tasks & Shared Living services are designed to empower participants with disabilities, fostering independence and community engagement. This includes personal care support like bathing and grooming, meal preparation, and household chores.

It also extends to errands and shopping, ensuring that participants have access to essential services and products. In addition, safety modifications are provided to ensure a safe and healthy living environment for those in shared accommodation arrangements.

To get started with a daily tasks/shared living plan, consult with your NDIS planner to identify the areas of support you need. Then, find a registered provider that specialises in your specific disability. This will help ensure that the supports you receive are aligned with your goals and needs. Finally, choose a provider that values dignity and empowerment.
