Living with a disability can mean needing some extra help around the house to achieve your NDIS goals. Our Support Workers can help with your daily chores to facilitate independence and comfort in your home. We provide a variety of tasks, including:

• Personal hygiene includes toileting, bathing, showering

• Cleaning

• House maintenance

• Laundry and ironing

• drop-off/pick up

• Cooking

Getting out in the community and making friends is an important part of life for every individual. Assistance with Social and Community Participation funding is usually used to cover NDIS participants who need to achieve their goals through participation in community, social or recreational activities.

Our support worker can help you with the following tasks:

• Attend personal development courses

• Other group-based activities such as music lessons or cooking classes.

• Go to a camp vacation

• Visiting the local library or attending an event.

Supporting Daily Personal Activities means people with a disability can perform daily activities with a sense of independence. Our everyday goal is to provide assistance with daily personal activities to achieve your goals.

Assistance with daily personal activities at Amaroo Care includes:

• Maintaining personal hygiene (will include taking a shower and bathing, taking care of oral hygiene, using the bathroom, dressing and grooming)

• Assistance with eating and drinking

• Attending appointments and meet-up

• Mobility and transferring (getting on and out of bed and toilet, etc)

A disability should not stop a person from living independently and freely. We understand and appreciate the level of complexity that people with disabilities face when tackling day to day tasks.

Our training programs can be conducted through group activities or individual activities, which will include:

• Communication skills

• Social skills

• Financial management

• Problem-solving skills among others.

As a participant with Amaroo Care, you will have an assigned Support Coordinator to work with you to explore what options are open to you and recommend where and how you can access other supports that you might need. Our Support Coordination team can help you with the following:

• One on one meetings to discuss and explain your plan

• Get the best value out of your plan

• Explain Service Agreements

• Research and recommend service providers

• Support you to contact service providers

• Ongoing support after your plan's been implemented

• Preparing for your plan review

At Amaroo Care, we offer NDIS supported independent living (SIL) services throughout Cairns. These are services designed for eligible people living with different abilities to enable them to live as independently as possible. Whether you have lower, standard or complex SIL needs, we can provide a team of friendly, qualified support workers within your existing accommodation setting; or we can assist you to move into one of our well appointed homes.
