"Knowing the ins and outs of your plan can help you forge a path to success." ...Take charge and get to know what Core Supports are and how they can help you.
What are Core Supports?
Let’s break it down… One of the best things about Core Supports – they’re flexible. This means you can use your funding across any of the support items and services within your Core budget.
Access to transport to help you achieve your goals
Assistance with Daily Life
Assistance with Daily Life is designed to help you live your best life, with as much independence as possible. It can help you cover the cost of hiring someone to supervise or support you with any activities (including personal care) in your daily life. And it doesn’t just mean you’ll be supported while at home. You could access support out in the community for social or work reasons, at school, TAFE or university, or even at a hotel while on holiday.
Consumables can help you with the costs incurred when purchasing everyday items, like assistive products for personal care or safety, low-cost Assistive Technology (AT), interpreting and translation education or services, and assistance animals and other innovative supports.
Assistance with Social and Community Participation
Assistance with Social and Community Participation helps you to engage in the community and in social and other activities related to your goals. You can receive this support in a number of different settings in the community, including in a centre with group or one-on-one interactions, at school, TAFE, university, or other educational facilities.
Transport funding gives you access to disability supports outside your home, and helps you pay for the transport that is helping you to achieve your goals. People who can’t use public transport due to their disability can receive this funding to help them go to school, university, TAFE, work, or to access the community.
