Disability Support Worker

Disability Support Worker

Living a fulfilling and independent life shouldn’t be limited by disability. For many Australians with disability, achieving true independence often requires tailored support from experienced professionals. At Accessible & Short Term Accommodation, we provide a wide range of NDIS-funded services designed to help individuals live life on their own terms and actively engage with their communities.

Our dedicated team of disability support workers and independent support workers includes qualified paediatric nurses, community nursing professionals, and in-home care specialists. We support individuals across all levels of need — from assistance with daily living tasks and encouraging social participation, to delivering essential health assessments and clinical care. Above all, we ensure comfort, safety, and dignity within the familiarity of your own home.

The Significance of disability support worker

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) recognises the importance of enabling people with disability to live independently, participate in their communities, and engage in meaningful activities. Through a range of tailored services, the NDIS aims to create lasting, positive outcomes in the lives of participants.

At the heart of these services are experienced disability support workers and independent support workers, who play a vital role in helping individuals achieve their personal goals, enhance daily living skills, and build social connections within inclusive, community-based settings.

NDIS Support Workers

Personal Care & Household Support

NDIS support workers and independent support workers assist with a range of personal care tasks, including bathing, dressing, grooming, and medication management. They also provide support with daily household chores such as cleaning, cooking, laundry, and grocery shopping — helping individuals maintain a clean, safe, and comfortable home environment while promoting greater independence.

Skill Development

NDIS support workers believe in empowering individuals with disabilities to develop new skills and reach their full potential. They offer assistance with skill-building activities such as budgeting, meal planning, time management, and communication skills, helping individuals enhance their independence and self-confidence.

Advocacy and Navigation

Navigating the complex healthcare and support systems can be daunting for individuals with disabilities. NDIS support workers serve as advocates, helping individuals understand their rights, access appropriate services, and navigate bureaucratic processes to ensure they receive the support they need.

Medication Management

NDIS support services include medication management to community nursing services to ensure individuals adhere to their prescribed medication regimens. These services include reminders for medication intake, assistance with organising medications into pill organisers, and monitoring for any side effects or changes in health condition, providing thorough management every step of the way.

Fostering Social Connections

Social isolation can be a challenge for many people with disabilities, including kids with complex disabilities. NDIS support nurses believe in nurturing a strong sense of community, where they can help you connect with others who share similar experiences by organising group activities and interactive sessions. These sessions can focus on shared interests, hobbies, or simply social interaction, promoting a sense of belonging and enhancing your overall well-being.

Expert Care and Management

NDIS support workers possess specialised training in disability support, ensuring a deep understanding of the unique challenges you face. This expertise translates into meticulous medication management, tailored to your specific needs and potential side effects. Moreover, NDIS support workers work collaboratively with you and your doctor to develop a comprehensive health plan that effectively addresses your wellbeing.
