What Are High Intensity Daily Personal Activities?

In the realm of disability support services, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides funding options tailored to the specific needs of individuals with disabilities. One such funding option is the NDIS High Intensity funding, aimed at supporting individuals who require extensive assistance with daily personal activities. In this comprehensive guide, Rise Family Support delves into what high intensity daily personal activities entail and how they can benefit participants.

Understanding NDIS High Intensity Funding:

1. Tailored Support: NDIS High Intensity funding is allocated to participants who require significant assistance with daily personal activities due to the severity of their disability. This funding enables individuals to access tailored support services that address their specific needs and promote independence.
2. Flexible Funding Allocation: High Intensity funding under the NDIS allows for flexible allocation based on the participant's individual goals and requirements. It can be utilized to fund a range of support services, including personal care, domestic assistance, and community access, among others.

What Constitutes High Intensity Daily Personal Activities?

1. Personal Care: High Intensity funding may cover extensive assistance with personal care tasks such as bathing, grooming, dressing, and toileting. Participants who require hands-on support for these activities due to physical or cognitive limitations can benefit from this funding.
2. Mobility Support: Individuals with mobility limitations may require high intensity support with activities such as transferring in and out of bed, wheelchair assistance, and mobility aid management. This funding ensures access to specialized support to promote safe and independent mobility.
3. Complex Health Needs: Participants with complex health needs, such as medication management, wound care, and specialized dietary requirements, may require high intensity support from trained professionals. This funding enables access to skilled healthcare services to manage these needs effectively.

Benefits of High Intensity Funding:

1. Enhanced Quality of Life: High Intensity funding enables participants to receive the level of support they need to perform daily personal activities with dignity and independence. This promotes an improved quality of life by addressing barriers to participation and enhancing overall well-being.
2. Increased Independence: By accessing specialized support through High Intensity funding, participants can develop skills and strategies to maximize their independence in daily life. This fosters a sense of empowerment and autonomy, enabling individuals to achieve their goals and aspirations.
