Finding aspects of your home and daily life overwhelming or difficult to achieve? We can provide as little or as much support as you’d like at home, whether it’s your own home, a private rental or community housing. Whether you have complex support needs or just need some additional support in your home, we’re here to help!
Our daily life assistance is available 7 days a week. We can support you with:

Personal care is one of the supports that experienced support workers can provide at JiviCare. Our support workers can help you live life on your terms. They can support you manage your household chores and personal care needs like showering, toileting, dressing and mealtime assistance at home or in the community, including assistance with health care and hygiene. For NDIS participants, funding for daily life within core supports may fall under personal care.
Transport is another area of disability support that support workers can provide at JiviCare. We can arrange transport, accompany you and provide any personal support you require while out.
Our support workers can work with you to get you where you need to go, using their car, your car or public transport. They can support you become more confident using public transport, getting out for shopping, making, and attending appointments or therapy support. For NDIS, participants may be able to claim for transport.
Our Innovative Community Participation Program is designed to support NDIS participants to build skills to actively participate in their community. Through side-by-side practice, the program involves highly skilled Community Engagement Practitioners who assist participants to expand their opportunities for community participation and employment. Community Engagement Practitioners adopt a capacity-building, community-based approach by working with participants in their local community to increase the likelihood of uptake and successful transition away from the service to informal supports and/or employment.
As appropriate, participants who access this program can expect support working on:
Development of Daily Living and Life Skills is a service that encourages personal development, enhances independence and increases opportunities to participate in the community. Individuals can work on learning to use public transport, developing skills for community, and normal day-to-day living activities.
At Jivicare, we can support you to develop the everyday life skills that increase independence and control. We provide resources, tools, support and inspiration to help people with disabilities build everyday skills. Call our team today to find out more.

Through either personal training or exercise physiology, we help participants maintain or increase their physical mobility. We will start by setting wellness goals with the participant, and track their progress over time to show how much they’ve grown—physically and mentally.
We share the mission of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) to improve the lives of every Australian facing significant and permanent disabilities, as well as their carers and families. We are proud to be a registered NDIS Provider and hope you will join us in showing your support.

These vehicle modification options can be mixed and matched to best meet your needs.

Warn their companion of Danger with an Alert Bark
Assistance Dogs are specially trained for a number of years to do specific tasks to help their human companion with day-to-day living. Assistance dogs can do things such as:
Will the NDIS fund an Assistance Dog?
Yes – if your Dog has already been Assistance trained and has passed your state or territory’s Public Access Test then the NDIS may fund it in line with their “Assistive animals operational guideline”
No – if your Dog has not done specialist training and has not passed your state or territory’s Public Access Test yet.
Other Organisations may fund the cost of an Assistance Dog such as Assistance Dogs Australia where their dogs are placed completely free of charge with humans who need them across Australia.
The Department of Veterans Affairs will also pay for a trained dog if you are an ex-defence service person and if you qualify for an Assistance Dog.
