Assist to Access and maintain employment or higher education

An NDIS behaviour support plan is a document developed for a person with a disability by an NDIS specialist behaviour support practitioner. It is developed in consultation with the individual, their family, carers, guardian, and other relevant people, as well as the service providers who will be implementing the plan

A behaviour support plan focuses on the individual needs of the person with behaviours of concern. This includes positive behaviour support to:
- Build on the person’s strengths
- Increase their opportunities to participate in community activities
- Increase their life skills

Assistance with daily life tasks in a group or shared living arrangement

In this category supports revolves around helping NDIS participants thrive in a shared living environment, whether the arrangement is temporary or long-term. Participants will be assisted and/or supervised as they complete day-to-day activities at home, helping them to live their lives as independently and autonomously as possible. Short term accommodation and assistance (for example, respite care) falls under the rubric of this registration group

Shared living arrangements are good solutions for NDIS participants who do not like to live on their own, instead preferring the company and companionship of roommates. Shared living arrangements present participants with a great opportunity to enhance their social skills by meeting and befriending new people, and learning how to help each other live with independence

Generally, the arrangement will consist of a residential unit in which two or more people with comparable needs live together

In addition to availing themselves of support provided by outside organisations, the residents help each other complete daily activities and share costs, developing lasting friendships along the way

Participation in community, social and civic activities

These supports help NDIS participants to become active in their communities by, among other things, performing social and civic activities. Participants are supported as they work to develop the skills and abilities necessary to engage with the community. They are also supported during community activities

Participating in your local community is one of the most rewarding things you can do. It is good for both mental and physical health, and it helps participants meet new people and increase their independence. Supports exist to ensure participants get the most they can out of their community engagement. For example, participants are assisted with meals, shopping, transport, and connecting with new people

These support items assist participants in accessing the community, social and recreational activities provided in a group setting, either in the community or in a Centre.
