What Does In-Home NDIS Support Include?
For many people with disability, living at home with the right support is the key to independence and comfort. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) makes this possible through in-home supports — services designed to help participants manage daily life, build skills, and feel confident in their own space.
But what does in-home NDIS support actually include? Let’s break it down so you can understand what’s available and how it could benefit you or a loved one.
What is In-Home NDIS Support?
In-home support is a type of NDIS-funded service that provides help with daily living activities inside the home. The aim is to give participants the assistance they need while still encouraging independence.
These supports are flexible and tailored to each individual’s needs, ensuring participants can live safely, comfortably, and with dignity.
Types of In-Home Supports Funded by the NDIS
The NDIS may fund a wide range of supports that take place in the home. These can be broken into a few main areas:
Personal Care
Assistance with showering, dressing, and grooming
Help with toileting and continence support
Medication reminders or administration
Household Tasks
Cleaning, laundry, and tidying
Meal preparation and cooking support
Support with shopping for groceries and household essentials
Daily Living Skills
Assistance with budgeting and managing money
Guidance on planning and preparing meals
Support to develop time management and routines
Social and Community Participation
In-home supports can also extend beyond the four walls of the house. Workers may help participants get ready for community activities, attend appointments, or travel to local events.
Who Provides In-Home NDIS Support?
In-home supports are delivered by support workers or allied health professionals, depending on the type of assistance required.
Support workers usually help with personal care, household tasks, and daily routines.
Therapists (like occupational therapists or physiotherapists) may provide skill-building or rehabilitation in the home environment.
With the NDIS, participants have the choice to use registered or unregistered providers, depending on their plan management.
How is In-Home Support Funded?
In-home support is generally funded under Core Supports – Assistance with Daily Life in your NDIS plan. The exact funding depends on:
Your individual goals (e.g. living more independently, developing skills)
Your level of need for personal care or daily assistance
The evidence provided in your planning meeting or assessments
If in-home support is essential for your safety, independence, or quality of life, it is often considered reasonable and necessary under the NDIS.
