Introduction
The NDIS provides funding to help participants live their best life. One of the main categories of funding is Core Supports, which covers everyday needs and activities that support your independence.
At Core Disability Support Services, we aim to make Core Supports simple and understandable, so you know exactly what assistance is available to you and how it can help you achieve your goals.
1. What Are Core Supports?
Core Supports are designed to help participants with daily life, social participation, and community involvement. They are flexible, meaning you can use them for different types of support depending on your goals.
There are three main types of Core Supports:
2. Daily Activities
This includes help with tasks you do every day, such as:
- Personal care (bathing, dressing, grooming)
- Meal preparation and assistance with eating
- Household tasks like cleaning or laundry
These supports make it easier to live independently and comfortably in your home.
3. Transport
Core Supports funding can cover transport if you need help getting to:
- Work or study
- Medical appointments
- Community activities or social events
This ensures you can participate in the community and stay connected without worrying about travel barriers.
4. Social & Community Participation
These supports help you take part in your community and enjoy social activities. Examples include:
- Attending local events, clubs, or sports programs
- Participating in hobbies or skill-building activities
- Building relationships and social skills
At Core Disability Support Services, we provide safe, supported opportunities for participants to get involved in their communities — boosting confidence, independence, and wellbeing.
5. Flexibility of Core Supports
Core Supports are flexible, meaning you can use them in ways that best meet your needs. For example:
- Short daily visits for personal care
- Extended support for attending community activities
- Transport assistance combined with social participation
Your support team will help you plan how to use your Core Supports effectively to achieve your goals
Conclusion
Core Supports are the foundation of your NDIS plan. They help with everyday life, build independence, and allow you to participate fully in your community.
