Assistance with Daily Personal Activities is NDIS-funded support that helps people with disability manage everyday personal care safely and with dignity. It is funded from the NDIS Core Supports budget, under the category Assistance with Daily Life. It is ongoing day-to-day support, not Capacity Building.
Mercy Life Care is a registered NDIS provider based in Toongabbie, and you can confirm our registration on the NDIS Commission provider registration listing. Our support workers help with hygiene, dressing, mobility, meals, medication reminders and household tasks across Sydney and Western Sydney, so participants can stay independent at home.
If your plan is self-managed or plan-managed, you can choose any provider. If it is NDIA-managed, you need a registered provider like us. Core Supports can generally be used flexibly across its categories, so check your plan.
Mercy Life Care specialises in hands-on, in-home personal care support for NDIS participants across Sydney. Our support workers are trained in manual handling, infection control and person-centred care, so daily personal activities are delivered safely and with respect for each person’s own routine and preferences.
Support workers help with showering, oral hygiene, hair care and nail care. Good hygiene protects health and helps people feel comfortable and confident each day.
We help choose suitable clothing and assist with buttons, zips and footwear, so people are ready for their day.
Our support workers assist with walking, using mobility aids and moving safely between bed, chair and wheelchair. This lowers the risk of falls and injury.
We help cook and serve meals, and support participants who need help with coordination or mobility while eating. See our full meal preparation support
Support workers can provide medication reminders, assist with packaging, and monitor wellbeing. Medication administration is available under high-intensity support with appropriate training.
We support toileting needs and changing continence products with privacy and respect, helping maintain hygiene and comfort.
Light housekeeping, laundry and tidying up help keep the home safe and accessible. Read more about our household tasks support.
In your NDIS plan, personal care is funded under support item 0107 (assistance with self-care activities) and household tasks under support item 0120. Both sit in Assistance with Daily Life.
Support workers spend time on conversation, hobbies and shared activities, which helps reduce isolation and supports emotional wellbeing. This can also connect into our community participation services.
The right support lowers the risk of falls and injury, helps participants stay in their own home, and gives families confidence that their loved one is properly looked after. Regular contact with a familiar support worker also supports emotional wellbeing, not just physical care.
