People with disabilities can find it tough at times, but the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) makes things simpler. No matter your understanding of it, learning about support work and understanding what core supports offer is very important for the NDIS. So, let’s make it easier to understand through this blog. If you want to know more about it, then stay consistent with us till the end.
What is NDIS?
Australia’s NDIS is a programme designed to give support to people living with disabilities. Among other things, it means support for personal care, getting involved in outside activities, gaining new skills, and participating in social events. The objective is to give people more freedom to live and enjoy what they want.
What does a support coordinator do?
A support coordinator helps you find your way in the NDIS world. They explain your NDIS plan and tell you how you should use it effectively. If anything about paperwork or services ever seemed confusing to you, a core support service coordinator is here to help.
They help you find service providers, manage your appointments, and track your progress towards your goals. They act as your backend helper, smoothing out the way your household functions.
Why does support work matter?
The main aim of core support work is to help people with disabilities do their daily routines and live well. They serve many purposes; they can help clients shower, cook, go shopping, or just listen.
They do better care for us; they are our friends, cheer us up, and often turn a hard day into a better one. A person and their support worker can form a relationship that changes their life in a positive way.
Understanding core supports
Under the NDIS, funding is split into categories, and one of the biggest ones is Core Support. These are everyday things you might need help with, like:
- Personal care (like dressing or bathing)
- Daily tasks (cleaning or cooking)
- Getting around your community
- Social and recreational activities
How you use core supports is up to you, as they are flexible and adaptable. Should you require more support at home one week and social support the next, you can change what you request. What’s great about science is that it does that for us.
NDIS requirements for support work
Support workers need to be aware of some rules andNDIS requirements for support work for the NDIS. Those working in support roles need training and background checks and, at times, have special qualifications required for their work. Everyone involved with the NDIS is required to be safe, respectful, and professional towards people with disabilities. Having this information in mind helps anyone thinking about support work or looking for workers.
