In-Home Support NDIS Canberra — Home Care

What Is In-Home Support Under the NDIS?

In-home support is NDIS-funded assistance delivered directly in the participant's own home, allowing them to live comfortably and safely in a familiar environment. Rather than moving into supported accommodation, participants receive drop-in visits from trained support workers who help with personal care, household tasks, meal preparation, and day-to-day management — all on a flexible schedule that fits around their life.

Life Assist Abilities Support is a registered NDIS provider delivering in-home support across Canberra and the ACT. Whether you live independently, with family, or with housemates, our team provides the right level of assistance to keep you safe, comfortable, and working towards your goals.

In-Home Support Services We Offer

Our in-home support covers a wide range of daily needs, all delivered with care and consistency in the participant's own space.

The Benefits of Receiving Support at Home

There are significant advantages to receiving disability support in your own home rather than in a facility or shared accommodation. Home is where participants feel most comfortable, most in control, and most themselves. In-home support preserves that sense of familiarity while ensuring the right level of care is always available.

• Maintain independence and control over your daily routine and living space
• Stay connected to your neighbourhood, local community, and social networks
• Enjoy the comfort and security of familiar surroundings, belongings, and pets
• Flexible scheduling — support when you need it, not on an institutional timetable
• Consistent support workers who get to know your home, preferences, and goals

How Is In-Home Support Funded?

In-home support is funded under Core Supports — Assistance with Daily Life in your NDIS plan. This funding covers daily living support tasks including personal care, household help, and meal preparation delivered in your home. The amount of funding you receive depends on your individual support needs and is determined during your NDIS planning meeting.

You have flexibility in how you use your Core Supports funding. Whether you need a few hours of support each week for specific tasks or daily visits covering multiple areas of assistance, our team works with you and your support coordinator to design a schedule that matches your funding and your lifestyle. Support intensity can range from brief morning check-ins to extended visits covering personal care, meals, and household management.

Consistent Workers, Safe Support

Consistency matters enormously in in-home support. When the same support worker visits regularly, they learn your routines, understand your preferences, and can provide care more efficiently and comfortably. Life Assist Abilities Support prioritises assigning regular workers to each participant, minimising the disruption that comes with unfamiliar faces in your home.

Every in-home support worker is screened through the NDIS Worker Screening Check and holds current first aid certification. Our team receives ongoing training in manual handling, infection control, and disability-specific skills. We maintain rigorous supervision, incident reporting, and quality assurance processes in line with the NDIS Practice Standards — giving participants and families confidence that support is delivered safely and professionally.
