NDIS Assist Personal Activities Across Melbourne South East, Darwin and the NT Regions
Personal Care Support, Delivered with Respect and Dignity
At Your Life, Your Choice Care Services, we understand that personal care is about more than daily tasks; it’s about dignity, independence, and feeling secure.
Assist Personal Activities is an NDIS Core Support that provides help with personal care tasks for participants who may not be able to complete them alone due to disability, injury, or age.
Our team offers one-on-one assistance that respects your privacy, cultural identity, and daily routine, helping you stay healthy, independent, and confident at home and in the community.
What Is Assist Personal Activities?
Assist Personal Activities is funded under the NDIS Core Supports budget. It covers personal care provided by trained support workers, either:
In your own home
In supported accommodation
Or while you’re participating in community activities
This service helps you maintain personal hygiene, complete daily routines, and continue living with dignity and autonomy. It’s suitable for NDIS participants who need physical support, supervision, or prompting to manage daily personal tasks safely and comfortably.
What Personal Care Support Can Include
Depending on your needs and NDIS plan, we can help with:
Personal hygiene — showering, bathing, grooming, oral care
Dressing and undressing, including seasonal or activity-based needs
Toileting and continence support, including bladder/bowel care and changing aids
Mobility and transfers — moving safely from bed to chair, standing, walking
Eating and drinking — assistance during meals or with feeding tools
Medication administration — reminders or assistance (within worker scope)
Daily routines — morning and bedtime assistance
Skin integrity and pressure care for participants with reduced mobility
Who Benefits from Assist Personal Activities?
Assist Personal Activities is ideal for participants who:
- Have physical or intellectual disabilities affecting personal care independence
- Experience reduced mobility due to age, illness, or injury
- Live alone and need help to stay safe at home
- Want to relieve family carers from daily care responsibilities
- Prefer support workers who understand cultural, linguistic, or gender-based needs
At YLYC, we’re proud to support participants from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, CALD backgrounds, and remote regions, offering care that’s safe, inclusive, and consistent.
Our Person-Centred Approach
We believe personal care should feel empowering, not clinical. Every interaction is guided by dignity, empathy, and respect. overnight
That’s why we focus on:
- Building trust through consistency and respect
- Matching support workers based on cultural, gender, or language preferences
- Supporting routine and independence, rather than taking over
- Ensuring all staff are trained, screened, and NDIS-compliant
- Providing flexible support when and where you need it — mornings, evenings, or overnight
