Practical assistance with daily life at home.

NDIS assistance with daily life focuses on the routines you need help carrying out now. That might involve organising the day, preparing a meal or sharing household responsibilities. In a shared home, we also discuss how assistance fits with the other people living there.

Your preferences shape the tasks and timing. We ask what you want to manage yourself, what you would like help with and how the routine should work. Daily tasks and shared living assistance is described here as practical support, without advertising housing or a SIL arrangement.

Need help doing a task today, or want to learn to do it more independently? Daily living assistance focuses on carrying out routines. Life skills development focuses on learning and repeated practice.

Practical possibilities

What support can involve

Everyday routines

Assistance organising morning, daytime or evening tasks around your preferences.

Meals and household routines

Help with everyday meal preparation and shared responsibilities, as agreed in your support arrangements.

Living alongside others

Support to participate in household activities and communicate your preferences.

Building confidence at home

Encouragement to take part in tasks at a pace that suits you.

Let’s discuss the right arrangement.

Tell us about your living arrangement, the tasks you find difficult and the times you need help. We will discuss the type and frequency of assistance, your plan arrangements and current availability before agreeing on a schedule.

Daily tasks and shared living assistance does not, by itself, mean housing is supplied or that 24-hour Supported Independent Living (SIL) is available. Ask us about your specific support needs before making arrangements.

We serve Canberra, including Belconnen, Gungahlin, North and South Canberra, Woden Valley, Weston Creek, Tuggeranong and the Molonglo Valley. Explore our service areas.

Your questions

Is this the same as Supported Independent Living?

Not necessarily. Assistance with daily tasks can involve particular routines or times of day. SIL is a specific home-and-living support arrangement. We will clarify the service being offered before you start.

Can I keep doing some tasks myself?

Yes. Tell us which activities you want to manage independently and where you would like assistance. Your preferences form part of the discussion about your support.

Do you provide the accommodation?

This page describes assistance with everyday tasks. It is not a listing of available homes or a promise that accommodation will be provided.

Let’s start with what matters to you.
