The right support can make daily life easier while helping participants work towards their personal goals and greater independence.

Admire Support Services provides personalised disability support in Ballarat and surrounding areas. We understand that every person is different. Each participant has their own needs, abilities, preferences, routines, and goals. Our aim is to provide practical support that fits into everyday life while respecting each participant's dignity, privacy, choices, and independence.

What Are Disability Services?

Disability services provide support to people who need assistance with everyday activities because of their disability. The type of support required can be different for every person.

Some participants may need help with personal care, while others may need support with household tasks, transport, community activities, or independent living.

Depending on individual needs and approved NDIS supports, disability services may include:

• Personal activities
• Daily living support
• Household tasks
• Community participation
• Transport and travel
• Supported Independent Living
• Respite care
• Life skills development
• Accommodation support
• Community nursing care

The purpose of these services is to provide suitable assistance while helping participants maintain their skills, confidence, and independence.

Personalised Disability Support in Ballarat

Every participant has different goals and support needs. This is why disability support should be personalised.

At Admire Support Services, we focus on understanding each participant as an individual. We consider their daily routine, interests, abilities, communication needs, preferences, and personal goals.

For example, one participant may need regular help with personal care. Another may need support with cooking and cleaning. Someone else may want help becoming more confident when visiting local places or taking part in social activities.

Our support is designed around what matters to the participant.

Personal Care and Daily Activities

Some people living with disability may need assistance with personal activities. This can include showering, dressing, grooming, personal hygiene, and other everyday routines.

Personal care should always be provided with respect and privacy. Our support workers aim to make participants feel comfortable while providing the assistance they need.

We also encourage participants to complete tasks themselves whenever possible. This can help them maintain their existing abilities and develop greater confidence.

The level of assistance is based on each person's individual needs.

Daily Living and Household Support

Household tasks can sometimes be difficult without the right assistance. Disability support can help participants manage everyday activities while also giving them opportunities to learn useful skills.

Support may include:

• Preparing meals
• Grocery shopping
• Cleaning
• Laundry
• Organising belongings
• Planning daily activities
• Following daily routines

Where possible, participants are encouraged to take part in these tasks.

For example, a support worker may guide a participant through preparing a simple meal instead of doing everything for them. This allows the participant to practise the skill and become more confident.

Supported Independent Living in Ballarat

Supported Independent Living, or SIL, is an NDIS support for eligible participants who need regular help with daily living.

SIL may include support with personal care, cooking, household tasks, daily routines, communication, and developing independent living skills.

The goal of SIL is to help participants live as independently as possible while receiving the support they need.

Independence means something different to everyone. One participant may want to learn how to cook meals, while another may want to manage their morning routine or become more confident with household responsibilities.

Admire Support Services provides personalised support based on the participant's needs and goals.

Community Participation and Social Activities

Being involved in the community can help participants build confidence and develop social connections.

Community participation support can help participants take part in activities that are important to them. These may include:

• Shopping
• Visiting local places
• Meeting friends
• Attending community activities
• Enjoying hobbies
• Going to social events
• Accessing community services

Participants should have a say in the activities they choose. Support workers can provide assistance while encouraging participants to make their own decisions.

This can help people become more confident when accessing their local community.

Transport Support

Transport can play an important role in maintaining independence. Some participants may need assistance to travel to appointments, shops, community activities, social events, or other important places.

Admire Support Services provides travel and transport support as part of its disability services.

Suitable transport support can help participants continue their regular routines and stay connected with people and places that are important to them.

Respite Care for Participants and Carers

Families and carers often provide regular support to people living with disability. Caring for someone can be rewarding, but it can also be demanding.

Respite care provides temporary support for participants while giving families and carers time to rest, attend appointments, work, or manage other responsibilities.

Respite support can be planned around the participant's needs and preferences. The aim is to provide a safe and comfortable experience while maintaining familiar routines where possible.

Developing Life Skills

Disability services can help participants develop practical skills for everyday life.

Participants may work on skills such as:

• Cooking
• Cleaning
• Shopping
• Laundry
• Planning a daily routine
• Communication
• Social skills
• Community access
• Making everyday choices

Everyone learns at a different pace. Support workers can provide guidance and encouragement while allowing participants to practise tasks themselves.

Even small improvements can help build confidence over time.

Community Nursing Care

Some participants may have higher or more complex support needs and require community nursing care.

Community nursing support can provide suitable assistance based on a participant's individual health and clinical requirements.

Admire Support Services provides community nursing care for participants with higher support needs. Depending on the person's requirements, support may include medication support, wound care, stoma care, respiratory support, and mobility or transfer assistance.

The type of nursing support provided depends on each participant's needs.

Respect, Choice and Independence

Good disability support should always respect the person receiving the service.

At Admire Support Services, we focus on respect, dignity, choice, safety, and independence. We encourage participants to be involved in decisions about their own support wherever possible.

Simple choices can make a big difference. A participant may choose what they want to eat, which activity they want to do, how they want to spend their time, or how they prefer to receive support.

Our aim is to support participants without taking away their independence.
