Everyday tasks, done in a way that builds independence rather than replaces it.
Assistance with Daily Life is NDIS-funded support for everyday tasks such as personal care, meal preparation, household tasks and daily routines. At GIFSA, this support is delivered in a way that builds participants' independence and confidence, rather than doing things for them.
Belonging and independence start with the everyday
For people with disability, feeling independent and feeling like you belong often comes down to the everyday: cooking your own meal, managing your own routine, having a say in how your day runs. These small things add up to a life shaped by choice.
At GIFSA, Assistance with Daily Life is about supporting people to do more for themselves. Our support workers help with things like personal care, meal preparation, household tasks and daily routines, always working towards building skills and confidence.
Greg's story
Greg loves trucks and Lego. After more than five years with GIFSA, he's developed greater independence, become more engaged in his daily life and discovered a new love of cooking, building confidence and new skills along the way.
My favourite thing about GIFSA is my support workers. They help me be more independent, get involved in more things and learn new skills. I've even learned to cook, and I love it!
Greg, GIFSA participant
