Greater Independence
Support workers encourage you to do as much as you can independently while providing assistance where needed. This helps build confidence and everyday living skills.
Daily activities like showering, getting dressed, brushing your teeth, or preparing for the day may seem simple. However, for many people living with a disability, these everyday tasks can become challenging without the right support.
In this blog, you'll learn what self-care activities under the NDIS include, what's covered, who can benefit, and how Heal Care supports participants across Sydney with personalised self-care services.
Assistance with Self-Care Activities is designed to help participants manage daily personal tasks while promoting independence, confidence, and a better quality of life. Rather than doing everything for you, the support focuses on helping you complete tasks in ways that suit your individual needs and goals.
Whether you need a little help each morning or ongoing personal care throughout the day, NDIS self-care assistance can make everyday living safer, easier, and more comfortable. At Heal Care, we believe everyone deserves to live with dignity, respect, and the freedom to make their own choices.
Under the NDIS, self-care activities refer to everyday personal tasks that help you look after your health, hygiene, and wellbeing. If your disability makes these activities difficult, your NDIS plan may include funding for support workers to assist you.
Common self-care activities NDIS may include:
The level of support depends on your individual needs. Some participants require occasional assistance, while others may need daily personal care.

Many participants wonder how self-care assistance differs from other NDIS support categories.
| Support Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Assistance with Self-Care Activities | Personal care such as showering, dressing, grooming, eating, and hygiene |
| Household Tasks | Cleaning, laundry, meal preparation, and maintaining the home |
| Daily Living Skills | Building skills to complete tasks independently over time, such as cooking or budgeting |
| Community Participation | Support to attend social, recreational, educational, or community activities |
These supports often work together to help participants live more independently.

Assistance with self-care activities is an NDIS-funded support that helps participants with daily personal tasks such as showering, dressing, grooming, eating, toileting, and maintaining personal hygiene when they cannot complete these independently due to their disability.
If personal care is considered reasonable and necessary because of your disability, your NDIS plan may include funding for self-care assistance under the Core Supports budget.
NDIS participants can choose their preferred registered or non-registered provider, depending on how their plan is managed. Choosing a provider you trust helps ensure comfortable and personalised support.
