When you or your loved one’s daily life requires additional support, finding a dedicated personal care assistant can make a significant difference. With the right personal care assistant, you can experience more independence and an improved quality of life. Here at New Growth, we understand the profound impact personalised care can have, and we are committed to ensuring you receive the highest standard of support.
Receiving help with personal care fosters greater autonomy, allowing you to engage with your community, pursue hobbies, and maintain social connections.
For family members and carers, it brings peace of mind knowing your loved ones are in capable hands and can live with dignity.
Personal care encompasses a wide array of services. These can include help with tasks such as dressing, bathing, eating, moving around your home or community, managing medication, attending medical appointments, and maintaining personal hygiene—all vital for living safely and comfortably.
The NDIS offers flexibility to choose the type of support that aligns with your lifestyle. Whether it’s for a few hours a day or round-the-clock support, the program is designed to adapt to your requirements.
Eligibility for personal care support through the NDIS is determined based on how your disability affects your ability to perform everyday activities. During the planning process you will discuss your needs, and if personal care is deemed necessary to lead an ordinary life it will be included in your NDIS plan.
At New Growth, we believe a personal care assistant is more than just a provider of a service; they can help you unlock your full potential. Our support workers play a pivotal role in delivering personal care that makes a real difference in your life.
We handle the complexity of coordinating with all involved parties—be it the NDIS, carers, family members, or hospitals. We’ll even also take into account the well-being of any children or pets in your home. Need your dog walked or your plants watered? We’ll support you to take care of it. We strive to provide holistic support that’s flexible to any circumstances and adapts as they change.
Our coordinators and support workers are at the heart of your care, advocating for your needs. They work tirelessly to ensure your support services are delivered seamlessly, and your personal care is delivered from the heart.
