Ready to Get the Right Support?
Assistance with Daily Life Tasks in Group/Shared Living is NDIS support for participants who need help with everyday activities while living with other people.
Our goal: to help you take part in everyday life in a way that respects your choices, supports your goals and builds independence.
Built around your choices, routines and goals.
Assistance, guidance or supervision with household tasks, based on your needs and agreed arrangements.
Help with routines, meals or household responsibilities that reflects your circumstances, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Your personal needs are considered alongside the practicalities of living with others.
NDIS daily living support helps with your disability-related needs in everyday life. In a shared home, it can combine shared and individual support, based on your circumstances.
Activities you do together, like preparing a meal or tidying a shared living area.
One-on-one help that respects your preferences, privacy and personal needs.
Good to know: Shared accommodation doesn’t automatically mean you receive Supported Independent Living (SIL), a separate NDIS option for eligible participants who need help or supervision at home. Your arrangement depends on your needs, funding and NDIS requirements.
Everyday support should be relevant to the activities you need help with and the goals you want to work towards. Depending on the service agreed, your circumstances and the provider’s capabilities, daily living assistance may involve the following areas.
We can discuss support with organising your day, preparing for daily activities, managing personal belongings and following routines that suit your preferences. The level of assistance depends on what you can do independently and where you need additional support.
Preparing meals involves planning, organising ingredients, following preparation steps and keeping the kitchen tidy. Depending on your agreed support, we can explore assistance that helps you participate in these activities at your own pace while respecting your dietary preferences.
Maintaining a shared home involves balancing personal responsibilities with the needs of other household members. Support may include organising personal living areas, participating in suitable household tasks and maintaining daily routines, depending on your individual needs and agreed arrangements.
Everyday activities provide opportunities to practise practical skills and build confidence. Support may involve learning to organise tasks, prepare simple meals, manage personal belongings or follow daily routines more independently, according to your abilities and personal goals.
Where included in your agreed support, assistance may involve preparing shopping lists, identifying household essentials and organising everyday activities. This can help you participate in practical planning and make informed decisions about your daily needs.
Living with others involves coordinating routines, respecting personal space and communicating about shared responsibilities. Appropriate support may help you express your preferences, participate in household discussions and contribute to shared activities while respecting everyone's privacy and boundaries.
Appropriate NDIS daily living support can help make everyday activities more manageable while preserving the choices that matter to you.
At Deep Connections Community Services, we believe that daily living assistance should reflect the individual, not just the tasks involved.
We aim to approach support discussions with compassion, respect and an understanding that each participant has their own preferences, strengths and aspirations. In shared accommodation, this means considering individual needs alongside the practical requirements of living with other people.
We encourage participants to explain what they would like to achieve, which activities they need help with and where they would prefer to remain independent. This provides a starting point for discussing support that is relevant to your everyday life.
Your preferred routines, personal space, mealtimes and approach to household responsibilities matter. Support discussions should take these factors into account rather than expecting you to adopt another person's routine.
Cultural background, language, beliefs and personal values can shape daily routines and expectations about living with others. We recognise the importance of discussing these considerations respectfully so that proposed support arrangements take individual preferences into account.
People communicate and process information in different ways. Your communication preferences, accessibility requirements and the way you prefer to receive assistance should be discussed when exploring suitable support.
Where appropriate and with your consent, family members, carers and support coordinators may contribute information about your goals, current arrangements and support needs. Your choices, dignity and privacy should remain central to these conversations.
Your support requirements may change as your circumstances, abilities or goals evolve. Changes can be discussed to determine whether the current arrangements remain suitable and what adjustments may be possible. Any revised support will depend on service suitability, availability, agreed arrangements and applicable NDIS requirements.
Assistance with daily life tasks may be relevant to NDIS participants who live with other people and require disability-related assistance with everyday activities.
Families, carers and support coordinators may also contact the provider to discuss suitable options on behalf of a participant, with the participant’s involvement and consent as appropriate.
Eligibility for NDIS funding and suitability for a particular service depend on individual circumstances and current NDIS requirements. A shared living arrangement is not, by itself, confirmation that a participant qualifies for SIL or other home and living funding.
Finding appropriate support starts with understanding your circumstances and discussing what matters most to you. Deep Connections Community Services invites participants, families, carers and support coordinators to contact the team about their daily living support requirements.
Call 0415 837 734 or email info@deepconnectionscommunityservices.com.au to explain that you are exploring assistance with daily life tasks in group or shared living.
Tell us about your current living arrangements, the activities you need help with, your preferred routines and the goals you would like to pursue.
You can also discuss communication preferences, cultural considerations, accessibility requirements and any important household arrangements.
Discuss whether the requested support aligns with the services the provider can offer and whether there is availability for your circumstances.
You should also clarify your NDIS funding arrangements and any relevant requirements. A support coordinator, plan manager or my NDIS contact may be able to help you understand the funding side of the process.
Before support begins, the relevant details should be discussed and agreed upon. These may include the activities to be provided, responsibilities, costs, scheduling and any other requirements relevant to the service.
Support commencement will depend on suitability, availability and the arrangements agreed with the provider.
Choosing a disability support provider means finding an organisation that understands your priorities and treats you with respect.
Deep Connections Community Services describes its approach in terms of personalised support, individual goals, preferences, cultural values and meaningful connections. These principles are particularly relevant when discussing assistance with everyday activities in a shared household.
The NDIS may fund disability-related help with everyday activities when it meets NDIS requirements and fits your individual plan. Funding depends on the support you need, your approved arrangements and the applicable NDIS rules.
Support with everyday activities, such as routines, meals and household tasks, based on your individual needs.
A specific NDIS home and living option for eligible participants who need help or supervision with daily tasks at home.
Specialist housing for eligible participants with specific housing needs, separate from daily living support.
Covers eligible disability-related support. For SIL, this means eligible support worker assistance.
Rent, groceries and utilities are generally everyday expenses and are not covered by SIL funding.
Note: Living in a shared home does not automatically mean you qualify for SIL funding.
You deserve support that respects your choices, recognises your abilities and takes your everyday priorities seriously.
If you are exploring assistance with daily life tasks in group or shared living, Deep Connections Community Services welcomes enquiries from participants, families, carers and support coordinators.

Answers to common questions about daily living support in group and shared living. If your question isn’t covered here, our team is happy to talk it through with you.
It is support for NDIS participants who need help with everyday activities while living with other people. Depending on individual requirements and agreed services, this may involve household routines, meal preparation, practical living skills or participation in suitable shared responsibilities.
Participants who require disability-related assistance with daily activities may wish to explore this support. Funding eligibility and service suitability depend on individual circumstances, the relevant NDIS requirements and the services available from the provider.
Shared living should still respect individual privacy, personal space and choices. Specific arrangements depend on the accommodation and service model, so participants should discuss private spaces, household expectations and personal routines before agreeing to an arrangement.
Depending on your needs and the agreed service, support may involve everyday routines, meal preparation, suitable household tasks and developing practical living skills. Confirm the specific activities available with Deep Connections Community Services before making arrangements.
Your preferences about communication, cultural understanding and the way support is delivered can be discussed with the provider. Whether a particular support worker can be accommodated depends on staff availability and service arrangements. Ask the team about your preferences when making an enquiry.
The availability of evening, overnight or 24-hour support depends on the service model, provider capabilities, staffing arrangements and the participant's support requirements. Contact Deep Connections Community Services to confirm availability. Do not assume that all daily living services include overnight support.
Your funding arrangements and the type of support required determine whether a service may be funded. Review your plan and speak with your my NDIS contact, support coordinator or plan manager. The provider can discuss the proposed service, but funding should not be assumed before the relevant requirements have been confirmed.
