Support Coordination is a service that assists individuals with disabilities in accessing support and services they need under the NDIS. A Support Coordinator acts as a liaison between the individual with a disability and the various service providers and organisations that can assist them.

Assistance with Daily Personal Activities, a crucial component of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), addresses the fundamental needs of individuals with disabilities, ensuring they can navigate daily life with dignity and support. This category encompasses a spectrum of essential tasks that are integral to a person's well-being and daily functioning.

Under Assistance with Daily Personal Activities, participants receive support for a range of tasks that may include personal hygiene, toileting, eating, attending appointments, and managing medication. These activities, while seemingly routine, can present challenges for individuals with disabilities, making the provision of assistance vital for their independence and overall quality of life.

The level of assistance provided varies based on the individual needs of participants.

For some, a degree of supervision may be sufficient, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for performing daily activities. Others may require prompting, where caregivers offer cues and guidance to help the individual complete tasks more independently. In more intensive cases, hands-on assistance may be necessary, involving direct physical support to ensure the task is completed effectively and safely.

While Assistance with Daily Personal Activities and Self-care Activities share similarities, they differ in scope and focus. The former encompasses tasks that may require immediate attention and assistance, such as taking medication or attending appointments. Self-care Activities, on the other hand, have a broader scope, including tasks like bathing, dressing, grooming, and eating. Recognizing this distinction is essential for participants and providers to ensure that support aligns with specific needs and requirements.

Steadfast Care aims to develop the participant's daily life skills to help them uphold their independence and shall deliver the daily personal activities specific to the preference and requirements of our participants or person with disabilities.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) offers transportation support to ensure that all participants have the capacity to travel. For people with disabilities, transportation is critical because, without the ability to do so, they will find it difficult to participate in society, contribute to the economy, educate themselves, and gain more independence.

If your NDIS plan includes funding for transport allowance, you will most likely be covered for assistance with travel transport arrangements. Steadfast Care shall provide transport to participants to any activities outside of the home, such as: to and from appointments or a workplace, visiting family or friends, specialised transport to an educational facility or community destination. Our company will allocate a qualified support worker to meet your travel/transport needs using an insured and registered vehicles.

Our travel/transport assistance is flexible with which the participant can alternatively access taxis, rideshares, community vehicles, and other appropriate transport methods. A support worker can accompany you with your travel needs through public transport or their own vehicles depending on the support level of the participant and might also teach the participant how to use public transportation independently if they opt to do so.

Nurses with expertise in community health are available to address the support needs of people who have complex medical requirements. After registering with the NDIS, participants can receive community nursing care immediately. Continuing to purchase these supports through Steadfast Care is possible if you already have community nursing care NDIS in your plan.

When your plan does not include nursing services for disability-related health issues, a registered community nurse will assess your clinical needs after meeting the NDIS eligibility criteria for complex support. A community nursing care NDIS program is arranged based on required nursing care type and frequency. For people with a disability, NDIS community nursing care promotes healthy lifestyles and prevents illness.

There are various supports and programs available to help individuals engage in these activities, especially to person with disability who may face barriers to participation.

The NDIS in Australia offers guidance on social and community participation for adults with disabilities, including those on the autism spectrum, with intellectual disabilities, or with psychosocial disabilities. These supports aim to build confidence and skills, connect individuals with community activities, and ensure they can stay connected through different life stages.
