Developing Skills for Independent Living

At Supportive Care Australia, one of our primary goals is to equip participants with the necessary skills to manage their daily lives. This includes personal care tasks such as grooming, dressing and maintaining hygiene.

Domestic support services are a vital component of disability and community support, aiming to assist individuals with disabilities in managing their household tasks and promoting independent living.

These services are designed to cater to the unique needs of each individual, helping to ensure they receive the necessary assistance to maintain a clean and organised living environment while also developing essential life skills.

Domestic support involves a range of activities, from basic housekeeping to meal preparation and laundry. By providing targeted support, a dedicated support person works alongside the individual to complete these domestic tasks. This collaborative approach can empower the individual by building their capacity to perform these tasks independently.

Support Worker Assistance

Domestic support is designed to enhance the individual’s skills for independent living. The support worker plays a crucial role in this process by offering guidance and assistance in a way that encourages learning and skill development.

For example, during meal preparation, the support worker might initially handle most of the cooking tasks but gradually involve the individual in simpler steps, such as chopping vegetables or stirring ingredients. Over time, as the participant’s confidence and abilities grow, they may take on more complex tasks, ultimately leading to greater independence in meal preparation.

In addition to hands-on support, the support worker can also provide education and tips on efficient household management. This might include demonstrating how to organise cleaning supplies, manage time effectively to complete chores or use household appliances safely and efficiently. Such practical knowledge is invaluable for individuals aiming to live independently and maintain their homes without constant assistance.
