Every person with a disability has specific needs that require different types of support. However, it may be a little confusing when it comes to understanding your NDIS funding and the many budgets that fall under the three major categories.

Today, we’ll examine the daily activities that can be funded by your NDIS Plan for assistance with daily living.
What is NDIS Assistance with Daily Living?
Within your NDIS Plan a budget is set aside for assistance with daily living under the Core Supports heading. It includes assistance with daily tasks that help you live as independently as possible at home and in the community.
The support provided might be in your own house, in a shared living situation like assisted independent living or out and about in your community.
Support can be provided in home or within the community. Under the category , “Assistance with Daily Life” in your NDIS Plan, you are able to get the following type of support:
- NDIS Community Participation Support
- NDIS Assistance with Travel and Transport
- NDIS Life Skills Development Support
- NDIS Household Tasks Assistance
- NDIS Assistance with Daily and Personal Activities
Why are daily living supports listed in an NDIS plan’s Core Support and Capacity Building Support?
Under Capacity Building Support there is a support category related to daily activity known as Improved Daily Living Skills. Improved Daily Living Skills mainly focuses on improving a person’s capacity or skill set so they can live independently and reduce the level of support that is required. This type of support includes training, counselling, and assessment.
