Using NDIS Core Supports for Home-Based Assistance
NDIS Core Supports are the backbone of many participants’ funding. They’re flexible, essential, and enable people with disabilities to live more independently, especially with in-home care. At EnableU, we help clients across Ryde, Canada Bay, and Hunter’s Hill make the most of their Core Support budget through tailored in-home services.
What Are Core Supports?
Core Supports are one of the main support categories in your NDIS plan. They fund everyday activities that help you live your life safely and comfortably. This includes:
- Assistance with daily living: personal care, meal prep, mobility support
- Transport: getting to appointments or activities
- Consumables: continence products, low-cost equipment
- Assistance with social & community participation: support for community engagement, recreation, or employment prep

Our qualified support workers can deliver a range of services using your Core Supports funding, including:
- Morning and bedtime routines
- Help with showering, grooming, and dressing
- Meal planning and preparation
- Light housework and home organisation
- Transport to and from community activities
We design services around your schedule, routines, and personal goals.
Combining Core Supports with Allied Health
EnableU’s in-home physiotherapists and occupational therapists can work alongside support workers to ensure:

Tips for Making the Most of Core Supports
- Review your goals before using funds—make sure every support aligns with what you want to achieve
- Track your usage—we help you stay on budget
- Use a mix of informal and formal support to reduce reliance on paid care where possible
Is Core Support Right for You?
Core Support funding is usually included in most NDIS plans. However, the way it’s allocated depends on your needs and support goals. EnableU can help interpret your plan, recommend services, and report progress back to the NDIA if needed.
