Daily Living Supports

Building Practical Skills for Greater Independence. There is a difference between simply getting through the day and feeling confident managing everyday life. At Oasis Care & Support, our Daily Living Supports help NDIS participants develop practical skills that can support greater independence. This may include cooking, budgeting, organising routines, managing appointments, making decisions and developing confidence with everyday responsibilities. Our approach is not about taking over. We work alongside participants so they can learn, practise and develop greater confidence with everyday skills at their own pace.

What Is Daily Living Support?

Daily Living Supports are NDIS-funded services designed to help participants develop the practical skills needed to manage everyday life with greater independence.
Rather than completing every task for the participant, our support workers provide guidance, encouragement and hands-on assistance while the participant builds their own skills and confidence.
These supports are shaped around each person’s:

  • Individual goals
  • Current abilities
  • Personal preferences
  • Learning pace
  • Living arrangements
  • Areas where greater independence is desired

For one participant, this may involve learning to prepare simple meals. For another, it may mean developing a weekly routine, managing household responsibilities or becoming more confident with everyday budgeting. Support begins with understanding the participant’s individual circumstances, goals and areas where they would like to develop their skills.

How We Support You

Our support workers provide practical, person-centred assistance across a wide range of daily living activities. Support may include:
  • Meal planning and cooking skills
  • Grocery shopping and preparing shopping lists
  • Budgeting and managing everyday expenses
  • Building and maintaining daily routines
  • Time management
  • Organising appointments and personal commitments
  • Managing paperwork and household information
  • Household organisation
  • Laundry and basic home-management skills
  • Decision-making and problem-solving
  • Building confidence with everyday choices
  • Developing personal responsibility and self-management skills
We can break larger goals into smaller, achievable steps and provide opportunities for participants to practise skills at a pace that suits them. The focus remains on developing the participant’s own abilities and encouraging greater confidence and independence.
