Karista provides you with a free service connecting you with Disability Support workers and other services based on your personal requirements. Our Client Services Team are committed to connecting you with disability support workers in your area.

 

Disability support workers are professionals who provide care and assistance to NDIS participants with physical, intellectual, sensory and psychosocial disabilities. Their support helps individuals to achieve independence and control over their daily and personal lives by giving them confidence, community exposure and ongoing support or regular assistance. As you spend so much time with your disability support worker, it’s important to trust them - it can be hard to find a support worker that suits you. Karista makes it easy for you to connect with a worker who can meet your needs and help you navigate life. 

 

Get started by completing the form below, and our Client Services Team will connect you with a local support worker. 

What is a Disability Support Worker?

A disability support worker can help you with a range of different aspects, including: 

  • Daily Living Support: This support is usually hands-on and can include assistance with showering, dressing, cooking and grocery shopping.
  • Community Access: A disability support worker can help individuals access community events and activities by providing them with physical company and confidence to attend. They often provide emotional support whilst facilitating their involvement in classes, clubs or courses. 
  • Skill Development: They often follow individual support plans that promote safe achievement of goals.  
  • Health Support: For many individuals, health support is paramount and difficult to manage. Disability support workers can help keep detailed records and information on health progress, which is useful for healthcare professionals, families and the individual.

 

Each approach looks different depending on the participant. However, typical approaches may include:

  • Care support plans
  • Physical assistance
  • Emotional support

Are Disability Support Workers funded by the NDIS?

You can usually find funding for disability support workers under the NDIS ‘Core Supports’ category - particularly under Assistance with Daily Life and Assistance with Social and Community Participation. This refers to the support available to you that helps you achieve your goals and objectives, and your success with everyday activities. 

 

Support for each individual may look different; your disability support worker will tailor their support and guidance to your particular needs.

I went onto the website and put in my information, within two minutes I had a phone call. I spoke to Ellen who was absolutely lovely and did a fantastic job explaining everything I needed to know and making me feel calm in a situation I've never had to navigate before. Definitely recommend this company (and the happy Ellen) to any parent/person who's looking for help in a plan manager.
