Core supports

Practical support for everyday living, confidence, and community connection.

At Health & Community Services (HCS), we’re committed to helping NDIS participants build independence, confidence, and a sense of belonging through personalised, high-quality support.

Our core supports are designed to help you manage daily life with dignity and ease — whether that’s at home, out in the community, or travelling to appointments. We work alongside you to develop routines, build skills, and create opportunities that empower you to live life on your own terms.

Assisted travel and transport

Getting to appointments, social events, or community activities should be simple and stress-free. Our transport services provide safe, reliable, and flexible options that match your lifestyle and level of independence. We can support you by:

• Accompanying you on public transport to build travel skills and confidence
• Assisting with mobility aids or equipment during your journey
• Arranging private or supported transport, including taxis or travel with a support worker’s vehicle
• Ensuring safe travel to appointments, community programs, or social activities
• Encouraging independence and familiarity with routes, timetables, and navigation

Assistance with daily life

Our compassionate team provides hands-on, respectful assistance with personal care and daily tasks, helping you feel comfortable, capable, and in control within your home environment. Our daily living support includes:

• Personal care: assistance with bathing, dressing, and grooming while maintaining privacy and dignity
• Meal preparation: cooking support and nutrition planning tailored to your preferences and dietary needs
• Household tasks: cleaning, laundry, and general home organisation
• Mobility assistance: support with movement and positioning for comfort and safety
• Medication reminders and daily routines: gentle prompting to help you stay on track

• Attend medical and allied health appointments with confidence
• Participate in community groups, social clubs, or recreational activities
• Join workshops, volunteering, or education opportunities
• Go shopping, banking, or running errands independently or with assistance
