Frequently Asked Questions

What services are available on Support Network from disability support workers?

You can ask your disability worker to assist you in any way permitted under National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) rules. Fortunately, these are quite broad. The NDIA (the agency that administers the NDIS) believes that care should be as much about purpose as medical assistance, giving you more control over how you use your funding. 

For example, you can use it for basic care purposes, like: 

• Help with chores around the home

• Pet care and light gardening

• Meal preparation

• Personal care support

• Medication management

• Allied Healthcare

However, you can also use the money for additional services that make your life better and give it purpose, including: 

• Assistance with applying for educational courses and vocational training

• Help with cooking, financial planning, and other critical life skills

• Transportation to social events, clubs, and doctor’s appointments

• Companionship and social interaction

• Assistance with working toward your individual goals

What other types of care professionals can I hire on Support Network?

Depending on your needs, you can hire different community support workers on Support Network. Independent carers often have specialist expertise to help you manage specific conditions or deal with unique problems you face.
