Daily living & personal care
Assistance with daily life
Practical, respectful help with the everyday things — getting up and ready, meals, medication, and keeping your home the way you like it. Delivered on your schedule, by workers you know.
What’s included
Support with the everyday
Daily living support covers the tasks that have to happen whether or not it has been a good day. Our job is to make them easier without taking them over — you stay in charge of how things are done in your own home.

How we do it
Your routine, written down and followed
Before the first shift we sit down with you (and family or carers if you want them there) and write your routine out properly — the order you like things done, what you can do yourself, what you want left alone, and how you prefer to be spoken to.
Every worker reads it before they walk in. That is why our workers are not standing in your kitchen asking where the plates go.
Who this suits
- People needing help to start or end the day
- People with physical disability or limited mobility
- People living with degenerative conditions
- People whose capacity varies day to day
- People leaving hospital and returning home
- Older Australians wanting to stay at home longer
Common questions
Usually Core Supports — Assistance with Daily Life. If you are unsure what your plan allows, send us a copy and we will map it out with you at no cost.
Our workers can prompt and assist with medication that has been prepared and packed by a pharmacist or nurse, following your medication management plan. Anything requiring clinical administration is arranged with a registered nurse.
That is the goal. We build a small consistent team around you — typically a primary worker plus one or two backups who already know your routine, so a sick day does not mean a stranger at the door.
Yes, as part of a support shift. We help you maintain your home — dishes, laundry, tidying, changing bedding, bathroom and kitchen cleaning. We are not a commercial cleaning service, so heavy or specialist cleaning is arranged separately.
