Frequently Asked Questions

What is a support worker?

Under Australia’s National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), support workers provide assistance for people with disability and those who need aged care services. They help people reach their goals, be independent in daily life, and take steps to improve their quality of life. The tasks a support worker does can change based on their client’s needs, but may include:

A support worker can help you:

  • Medication management
  • Personal care tasks and helping someone develop a self-care routine
  • Assisting with household chores
  • Meal preparation and teaching cooking skills
  • Developing communication and social skills
  • Assisting with attending community activities and events
  • Transport assistance
  • Help with employment and education
  • Support on vacations and trips
  • Help with organising finances and budgeting
  • Allied health therapy exercises
  • Mobility assistance, including manual handling
  • Implement behaviour management plans
  • Respite care to give family members a break
  • Exercise and activities to improve mental health and life balance
  • Assistance for complex clients

While it isn’t necessary to have qualifications when supporting someone living with a disability, most support workers have certifications that are relevant to their role. It’s also a good idea to ensure any support worker you hire has passed Police Checks, to ensure your safety and quality of care.

Some qualifications and check to look out for are:

  • a Certificate III or IV in Disability or Individual Support
  • First Aid Certificate and CPR Certificate
  • A Working with Children Check (WWCC) – a background check or screening process that adults have to go through before they can work with children
  • Working with Vulnerable People Check (WWVP) – a type of background check that is done on adults who work or volunteer in roles where they will be interacting with vulnerable individuals, such as children, elderly people, or people with disability

When searching for a support worker, it’s essential to think about whether they have the right qualities to give good care. Here are some traits to consider:

  • Kindness and care – a good support worker should truly care about the people they’re helping. They should be patient, show understanding, and care about their client’s needs and wishes.
  • Reliability – this is highly important because support workers are often a big part of your daily routine. They need to be on time and do their job consistently.
  • Good communication – being able to communicate well is a significant part of delivering quality care. A support worker needs to listen carefully and explain things clearly to their client.
  • Flexibility – people are different, and situations change. A good support worker can adjust how they provide support to fit different needs.
  • Problem-solving – support workers can face problems or surprises. Being able to think smartly and find solutions is really helpful.
  • Respect – a support worker should respect the person they’re helping. This means empowering them to make their own choices and acknowledging their dignity.
  • Cultural understanding – it’s good if a support worker understands and respects different cultures and beliefs, so they can provide inclusive care to all.
  • Experience and learning – depending on what the person needs, it’s preferable if the support worker has done similar work before or got training in things like helping with disabilities or mental health. Also, make sure they’ve passed Police Checks and have good references.
  • Positivity – having a happy and positive attitude can make the person being helped feel better supported, and encourage good outcomes.

Are you looking for a home carer on the Central Coast or greater New South Wales? Home Caring provides high quality support workers that provide services to a high standard. If you need a disability carer on the Central Coast to assist with everyday life, please get in touch with our personal support team.

If you are living with a disability, the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) can provide funding, so you can get the support you need. This includes accessing a support worker who can assist you with daily tasks, and help you engage more fully in community life.

To qualify for NDIS funding, you will need to meet certain criteria, determined through an assessment process. You can apply on the NDIS website to get the process started. This involves assessing your individual needs and goals, and whether an NDIS plan is the best option for you.

If you already have an NDIS plan, you can talk to your NDIS planner, support coordinator or Local Area Coordinator (LAC) about the best way to hire a support worker with your funding. They will help you take the first steps, and support you to make a decision that best meets your needs.

Need an NDIS personal carer on the Central Coast? Home Caring provides quality support workers who in the local area. To access an NDIS disability worker on the Central Coast, please get in touch with our customer service team.

An service agreement is a formal document that outlines the terms and conditions of the support and services provided by an NDIS service provider to a participant under the NDIS scheme. This agreement helps establish a clear understanding between the participant and the service provider about what services will be provided, how they will be delivered, and what both parties can expect from each other.

If you hire a support worker, you will need to sign a service agreement with them, to clearly outline the expectations of your working relationship. This agreement can include:

  • Any services provided (e.g. housework assistance, personal care, transport)
  • The days and times when you will be provided with assistance
  • The outcomes that you want to achieve and goals you are working towards
  • Payment details such as the hourly rate, the overall cost of their service, how often your support worker will be paid, and how payment will occur
  • Cancellation or rescheduling policies
  • Confidentiality of your personal information and your privacy rights
  • In some cases, a code of conduct relevant to your working relationship
  • Both of your signatures, to indicate your understanding and acceptance of the terms of the agreement

If you have NDIS funding, here are some ways you can hire a support worker to help you with everyday life:

  • Use a registered NDIS provider. This is an organisation or individual that provides support services to participants. The benefit of using a provider is they can pair you with a support worker who is suited to your needs. They also take care of things like payments and insurance, so there’s less admin on your end.
  • Hire a support worker through an agency. An agency provides a place where independent support workers offer their services to people in the community. In most cases, you can visit their website, sign up for a profile, and choose from a list of support workers in your area. You can also find out a bit about them before you inquire about their services, such as their qualifications and any areas they specialise in. Some agencies handle things like insurance, invoices, and administration for you, making things easier for you.
  • Choose a support worker independently. You can also choose your own support worker, and hire them independently to provide you with services. This gives you more freedom and control to choose who you like, but you will need to take care of things like administration, paperwork, invoices, and doing qualification checks. If you have someone you’d like to hire as a support worker and don’t mind the extra admin, this could be a good option for you.

Looking for a personal care assistant on the Central Coast? We’ll help you find a personal care worker on the Central Coast who helps you live independently. To find out more, please get in touch with our experienced staff.

If you have a disability, your family members and friends might already provide you with support on a regular basis, such as helping you with personal care, community access, or transport. This is usually referred to as ‘informal supports’. It is not funded by the NDIS because your family and friends are part of your personal support network.

Sometimes, the NDIS might provide funding for a family member or friend to support you regularly. This could be because you have a special circumstance – for example, you live a great distance from disability providers, or you have challenges hiring a support worker. If you think this might be relevant in your situation, get in touch with the NDIA to explore your care options.

Are you needing a social support worker on the Central Coast? Home Caring provides individualised NDIS disability services that enable you to enjoy quality of life. To find a personal support worker on the Central Coast to assist with your needs, please get in touch.

A psychosocial disability is when someone’s mental health condition makes it hard for them to do everyday things like work, spend time with friends, or take care of themselves. People with psychosocial disability may be eligible for NDIS funding if their condition meets certain criteria, and if they require assistance and support to improve their daily functioning and overall wellbeing. This funding can be used to access a range of services and supports, including therapy, counselling, medication management, skill development, social activities, and more.

If you are living with a psychosocial disability, you might also be able to get funding for a support worker to assist you with daily life. Here are some ways they might be able to help you:

  • Emotional support, such as listening and understanding your feelings
  • Daily assistance with tasks like cooking and self-care
  • Teaching you coping strategies and communication skills
  • Working together on your personal goals and creating a personalised support plan
  • Encouraging social activities and making connections in the community
  • Assisting during emergencies and crises
  • Medication support
  • Advocacy – helping with accessing services and rights
  • Therapeutic exercises to improve health and wellbeing

  • Talk to your NDIS planner or Local Area Coordinator – tell them you want a support worker who speaks your language well, so they can assist.
  • Use NDIS search tool – the NDIS has a tool online that helps you find people who can support you. You can use it to find workers who can speak your language.
  • Ask local groups and your own support network – talk to groups in your community that help people with disability, as they might know about workers who speak your language. Also try chatting to friends and family who might know about support workers who speak your language.
