Shopping and appointments

Errands and appointments, with support by your side

Getting to the shops, the bank or an appointment is part of everyday independence. A support worker can help you plan the trip, travel with you and support you while you are there, so the outing goes the way you want.

What this can include

• Grocery and personal shopping, including help to write a list and keep to your budget.
• Getting to medical, dental and other appointments, waiting with you and, if you ask us, helping you remember what was discussed.
• Banking, the post office and other everyday errands.
• Practising a trip by public transport, if building independence is one of your goals.

How it works

Tell us what you would like help with, your suburb and when you hope to start. We talk through your preferences and goals, confirm availability and agree the support in writing before it begins. Support is reviewed with you over time.

NDIS funding depends on each person's plan and the current NDIS rules. We confirm availability, suitability and funding arrangements with you before support starts.
