NDIS Personal Care Support in Melbourne | Green Summer Care
Everyday tasks like showering, getting dressed, or making a meal can be tricky for people with disabilities. Green Summer Care is here to make those things easier for you with tailored personal care services in Melbourne. That way, you can focus on the things you enjoy, whether it’s spending time with family, exploring a hobby, or relaxing in your yard. Our help with daily tasks doesn’t take away control over how you live your life. Rather, it opens new opportunities to learn new skills and live life to the fullest.
What Is NDIS Personal Care?
Personal home care assistance is funded by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) to help people with disabilities perform everyday personal tasks. These may include:
- Showering, bathing, brushing teeth, and getting dressed
- Using the toilet and managing continence
- Eating, drinking, and taking medicine
- Moving around, like getting in and out of bed or a chair
- Using new equipment like mobility aids or hearing devices
- Getting to and from appointments
- Basic first aid related to the person’s disability
These home care services and support can be provided at home, while living with family, or even while you’re out at school, work, or in the community. Our main goal is to help you become as independent as possible. Sometimes, the NDIS might also fund tools or training that let you do more on your own. For children, personal care is only funded if they need more help than other kids their age.

Benefits of NDIS Personal Care Services
NDIS personal care has many practical benefits that can make daily life easier and more enjoyable. With this support, you get help with important everyday tasks like showering, dressing, eating, and moving around safely. Here are some more advantages of personal home care assistance:
Support with Everyday Tasks
Daily activities such as personal hygiene, grooming, eating, and mobility are covered. These services make it easier to stay clean, comfortable, and healthy.
Enhances Safety
Trained workers reduce risks such as falls during dressing or slipping in the bathroom. They also manage medication reminders to maintain overall health.
Eases Pressure on Family and Carers
When trained professionals assist with daily tasks, family members have time to rest, look after their own needs, and handle other responsibilities. It also gives them peace of mind, knowing their loved one is in safe, supportive hands.
Available Anywhere You Need
This support is provided not only at home but also at work, school, during social events, or while travelling. This makes it easier to stay active and involved in the community.
Build Your Independence
Personal care services help you do more on your own. With the right support, learning new skills or using tools and equipment is easier, making daily routines more manageable.
Tailored to Your Age and Needs
Every care plan is designed to match each person’s age, ability, and situation. For example, children receive extra support only if they need more assistance than other children of their age.
Respects Your Choice
You have control over who provides these services. If you prefer a particular support over others, it will be arranged.
Flexible Support Based on Your Needs
The NDIS funds up to 6 hours of personal assistance each day. This includes tasks like bathing, eating, using medication, and moving around safely - all tailored to your routine.
Smart Support Options
Sometimes, the NDIS may suggest using special tools or training to boost independence, and these can be included in personal care services programs. This may reduce the need for direct assistance over time.
