NDIS Disability Support
NDIS In-Home Support in Tasmania
Practical disability support at home, shaped around the participant’s routines, preferences and goals.
What is in-home support?
In-home support helps a participant with everyday activities in their own home. The level and type of assistance can be planned around the person’s routines, independence, communication preferences and agreed support needs.
AIC Services focuses on respectful practical assistance rather than taking over tasks the participant wants to do for themselves. Support can be adjusted as needs and routines change, subject to the agreed service arrangement.
Examples of in-home support
Support is discussed around the participant’s individual needs, preferences, goals and agreed service arrangements.
✓
Personal support
Where agreed, staff can assist with personal care and everyday routines while respecting privacy, dignity, preferences and the participant’s level of independence.
✓
Household participation
Support may include practical help with household activities so the participant can take part in maintaining their home and building everyday skills.
Support that follows the participant’s routine
Good in-home support starts with understanding how the participant wants their day to work. AICS discusses preferred routines, communication, cultural or personal preferences, independence goals, known risks and the tasks that staff are expected to support.
The service is disability support and should not be assumed to include clinical nursing, medical treatment or emergency medical care. If a participant has specific health-related support requirements, these should be discussed clearly so the appropriate arrangements and responsibilities can be confirmed.
Families, carers and other people important to the participant can be involved in planning where the participant wants them involved. Staff should work within agreed roles and professional boundaries.

Frequently asked questions
What can an in-home support worker help with?
Support can be planned around daily routines, household tasks, meal preparation, personal support and other agreed disability-support activities. The exact tasks depend on the participant’s needs and service agreement.
Can my family or carer be involved in planning?
Yes, where the participant wants them involved or this is part of the participant’s support arrangement. AICS aims to keep roles, communication and responsibilities clear.
Is in-home support the same as nursing care?
No. This page describes disability support in the home. Specific clinical, nursing or medical requirements need to be discussed separately so the appropriate service and responsibilities can be confirmed.
