What services does a disability care worker provide?

A casual disability support worker can provide numerous care-related services to help you continue living independently in your home. Their goal is to improve your quality of life as much as possible, whether you have a physical or cognitive impairment. 

Specifically, a disability care worker can assist you with basic tasks, such as: 

• Washing up the dishes and putting the laundry in the machines

• Cleaning your living areas and outdoor patios

• Pruning bushes and mowing the lawn (alongside other light gardening duties)

• Helping you move around your home and assisting you with disability-friendly transportation

• Managing your medications and ensuring you take the right amount throughout the day

• Assisting with washing, showering, getting dressed and grooming

• Cooking meals and ensuring you get the delicious flavours and nutrition you want

However, the NDIA believes an NDIS independent support worker should do more than merely provide services related to medical care. Your social support worker should also assist with:

• Finding educational opportunities or paying for vocational training

• Searching for part- or full-time employment

• Paying for hobbies, outings, and exciting activities

• Companionship or transportation to see friends and family

• Celebrating special events, like Christmas
