Karista matches you with available providers, and you choose who you continue working with.

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

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.
