Core Supports — Assistance with Daily Life

Activity Support

Hands-on, person-centred support for everyday activities — in your home and out in the community. Built around your goals, delivered with genuine care.

What is Activity Support?

Activity Support is funded under Core Supports — Assistance with Daily Life (Category 01) in your NDIS plan. It covers hands-on assistance or supervision with personal tasks during day-to-day life, helping you live as independently as possible across a range of environments including your own home.

At Joyful Support, this means a consistent, known support worker alongside you for the activities that matter — from grocery runs and appointments to outings, community events, and everything in between.

Eligibility

To access this support through Joyful Support, the following conditions generally apply:

NDIS Participant

You are an active NDIS participant with Core Supports funding in your plan

Category 01 Funding

Your plan includes Assistance with Daily Life (Category 01) — or your Core budget is flexible enough to draw from it

Reasonable & Necessary

The support is directly related to your disability and is reasonable and necessary for your daily functioning

Not Mainstream

The activity is not something already covered by mainstream services (health, education, transport)

Plan Goals Aligned

You are working toward goals in your NDIS plan that this support directly supports

Not sure if you're eligible? Talk to your Local Area Coordinator (LAC), support coordinator, or plan manager — or contact us directly and we'll help you work it out. Eligibility is always assessed in the context of your individual NDIS plan and goals.
