How Does 24-Hour Support Work Under the NDIS?

Among the categories of NDIS participants are “Core Supports” or “Assistance with Daily Living”. Funding from these categories cover the cost of multiple trained professionals providing support in shifts in support of 24 hours support.

Participants receive this support either:

In their own home - directly to their home in a customized care for personalized care arrangements; or

In supported accommodation, where care team members are centrally located in the same facility and provide 24/7 supports, or more conventional "staff" site or house models.

Regardless of the time of the day or night, the participant always has access to immediate support when required from professionals certified to provide, and it also ensures professional oversight of support to support the participant at all times.
