How to pay for in-home support
NDIS funding information
If you have an NDIS plan, there are two types of NDIS funding that you can access to use our in-home support.
- Assistance with social and community participation – part of your core support budget
- Assistance with personal and self-care activities
Self-funded
You do not have to have government-approved funding packages to access our disability supports and services. Self-funded is a way you can pay for services with your own money. Sometimes self-funded is called fee-for-service.
This gives you the flexibility to access the supports you need if you have a one-off request, or if your government funding package does not cover what you need. You can also self-fund supports while you wait for a funding package to be approved.
In-home support helps with daily tasks like cooking, cleaning and personal care. It’s designed to make your home life more comfortable and give you time to focus on what you enjoy. Having friendly support at home can also help build your skills and independence.
Your support is always personal. Your disability support worker in Wollongong will take time to get to know your schedule, goals and lifestyle. Together, you’ll plan the best support plan for you, whether that’s help with cooking, cleaning, gardening or personal care. We’ll keep things flexible as your needs change.
Yes, you can. You don’t need NDIS funding to receive in-home support. Some people self-fund their in-home support or use other types of funding while waiting for their NDIS plan. We’ll help you understand the options and get started quickly.
