An NDIS support worker can help you with daily routines, taking part in your community and practising skills you want to use more independently. At Per Se Psychology, we provide support work across the Gold Coast and discuss what assistance fits your goals, preferences and routine before you start.
Help with everyday routines
You might want someone beside you while you plan meals, prepare a simple lunch or organise household tasks. The amount of assistance can vary. For example, you might want to do most of a task yourself with prompts for the steps you find difficult.
Getting out and taking part in your community
A support worker can help you take part in activities you choose. That could mean practising the steps for a regular library visit, attending a local social activity or having someone accompany you to an appointment. If you need help with travel, ask what arrangements are available when you enquire.
What to ask before choosing a support worker
Start with one activity you want help with. Tell the provider what you want to do, where you live and what days suit you. Ask how they match you with a worker, what happens if the worker is away, what the support costs and whether they can work with the way your NDIS funding is managed.
The NDIS has guidance on what a support worker can do and how to choose a provider.
