What’s Not Covered by Assistance with Daily Life?
While NDIS Assistance with Daily Life provides comprehensive support, it’s important to understand what falls outside its scope:
- Day-to-day living costs that everyone faces regardless of disability (e.g., rent, groceries, utility bills)
- Support that is primarily the responsibility of other systems (e.g., education, health, or employment services)
- Support that is not related to your disability
- Items or services that may cause harm to you or pose a risk to others
- Experimental treatments or therapies without evidence of effectiveness
If you’re unsure whether a specific support is covered under your NDIS plan, our team can help clarify and explore alternative funding options if needed.

Client Success Stories
“After my accident, I thought I’d never be able to live independently again. The team at Ambition Health Group worked with me to develop a personalized support plan that focused on building my skills and confidence.

Common Questions About NDIS Assistance with Daily Life
The number of hours depends on your individual needs and NDIS plan. There’s no set limit – it’s based on what’s deemed “reasonable and necessary” for your specific situation. Some participants receive a few hours per week, while others with complex needs may receive support for multiple hours daily or even 24/7 care.
Yes, at Ambition Health Group, we believe in participant choice and control. You can request specific support workers and we’ll do our best to accommodate your preferences. We understand the importance of having support workers who you feel comfortable with and who understand your unique needs.
Assistance with Daily Life is a category within Core Supports. Core Supports is one of the three main budgets in an NDIS plan (alongside Capacity Building and Capital Supports), and Assistance with Daily Life is specifically focused on helping with everyday personal activities, household tasks, and community participation.
Yes, if cleaning is difficult for you because of your disability, NDIS can fund household cleaning under Assistance with Daily Life. However, it must be directly related to your disability needs, not just general household maintenance that everyone needs to manage.
If your support needs change, we can adjust your service agreement accordingly. For significant changes that require additional funding, you may need to request a plan review with the NDIS. Our team can help document the changes in your needs and support you through this process.
We aim to begin services as quickly as possible. Typically, we can start within 1-2 weeks after completing the initial assessment and service agreement. For urgent situations, we can sometimes expedite this process. We’ll work with you to establish a timeline that meets your needs.
Yes, our support workers can provide medication assistance, including reminders and helping you take your prescribed medications. However, there are some limitations based on state regulations and the type of medication. Our staff are trained in medication support and follow strict protocols to ensure your safety.
? Your comfort and satisfaction are our priorities. If you’re not happy with your support worker for any reason, please contact us immediately. We’ll work with you to understand your concerns and find a more suitable match. We have a diverse team of support workers to ensure we can meet your preferences and needs.
