NDIS Daily Living Support in Australia: Empowering Independence with Desire Health
Living independently is something most of us take for granted. But for people with disability, everyday tasks like getting dressed, preparing meals, or keeping the house clean can be genuinely challenging. NDIS daily living support from Desire Health gives participants the practical assistance they need — while building the skills and confidence to do more on their own.
What Is NDIS Daily Living Support?
NDIS daily living support refers to a range of funded services that help participants with everyday tasks and personal care activities. These supports are designed to promote independence, dignity and quality of life for people living with disability.
Under the NDIS, daily living support falls under the Core Supports funding category — one of the most commonly used and flexible categories in an NDIS plan.
Daily living support can be provided in your own home, a shared living arrangement, or out in the community — depending on your individual needs and goals.

- Greater independence in managing their own home
- Improved personal hygiene and health outcomes
- Reduced stress for both participants and their families
- More time and energy for social and community activities

Our support workers do not just do things for you — they work alongside you, teaching skills and encouraging independence at every step. We follow a recovery-oriented and positive behaviour support framework that puts your goals at the centre of everything we do.
