Personal Care Supports

Tailored assistance for personal care needs, ensuring comfort and independence

Personal Care Supports

Personal care is a core support at FWBS. Our support workers are selected based on their skills and experiences to deliver Personal Care Supports.

Personal care supports may be required across a variety of settings. For example, a participant living alone in their own home, living with family or other people, when undertaking social, recreational, education or employment activities or during holidays away from home.

Personal care supports relate to assistance with daily personal activities including assistance with, or supervision of, personal tasks of daily life. For example:

Personal hygiene, including showering, bathing, oral hygiene, dressing and grooming
Toileting, bladder and bowel management and menstrual care
Eating and drinking
Use of aids and appliances, hearing and communication devices
Mobility and transferring, for example moving in and out of bed and on or off the toilet
Application of splints, basic first aid due to injuries sustained as a result of a participant’s disability.

When personal care supports are being considered, the NDIA will have regard to the degree to which these supports:

Maximise the independence and functional skills of the participant;are appropriate to the participant’s age and circumstances; and whether alternative arrangements or supports could meet a participant’s needs in a less intrusive manner. For example, aids and equipment may enable a participant to complete tasks for themselves or the provision of training may increase the participant’s independence in the tasks.
