Frequently Asked Questions

What does personal care include under NDIS?

NDIS personal care (0107) covers hands-on assistance with showering, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, continence management, mobility, and medication prompting — any task essential to your daily personal routine.

How often can I receive personal care support?

Support frequency is determined by your NDIS plan funding. We can assist daily, multiple times per day, or on a flexible schedule that suits your lifestyle and goals.

Can I choose a male or female personal care worker in Ballarat?

Absolutely. We understand that personal care is deeply private, and your comfort comes first. You can request a support worker of a specific gender, and we will do our best to match you accordingly. This preference can be noted in your service agreement with Gentle Grid.

Is NDIS personal care available overnight or on weekends in Ballarat?

Yes. Gentle Grid provides personal care support in Ballarat seven days a week, including weekends, public holidays, and overnight shifts. We can arrange morning routines, evening personal care, and sleepover or active overnight support depending on your NDIS plan funding.

What is the difference between NDIS personal care and nursing support?

NDIS personal care covers daily hygiene, dressing, grooming, and mobility assistance provided by trained support workers. Nursing support involves clinical tasks such as wound care, catheter management, medication administration, and health monitoring, delivered by registered or enrolled nurses. Gentle Grid provides both services in Ballarat.

NDIS Funding for Personal Care: What Your Plan Covers

Personal care support is funded under NDIS Support Category 1 — Assistance with Daily Life (Registration Group 0107). Your plan can fund a support worker to assist with hygiene, grooming, dressing, continence care, meal preparation, and mobility — whenever you need it, including mornings, evenings, overnight, and weekends.

NDIS funds personal care at the current NDIS Price Guide 2025–26 support worker rates, which are set by the NDIA. For agency-managed and plan-managed participants, Gentle Grid can claim directly from your NDIS plan at Price Guide rates. Self-managed participants pay us directly and seek reimbursement. Whether personal care is funded depends on the supports in your individual NDIS plan.

  • Standard daily personal care support (day and evening rates)
  • Weekend and public holiday support (at higher NDIS rates)
  • Overnight active and sleepover support
  • Short-term high-intensity personal care after hospital discharge
  • Support for complex personal care needs (PEG, catheter, bowel care)

Why Families in Ballarat Choose Gentle Grid for Personal Care

What is NDIS Personal Care Support?

NDIS Personal Care (registration group 0107 — Assistance with Daily Life) covers the everyday support that helps participants maintain their hygiene, health, and dignity. This includes hands-on assistance with tasks that a person is unable to perform independently due to their disability. Personal care is one of the most commonly funded NDIS supports and forms the foundation of daily living for many participants.

At Gentle Grid, our personal care support workers are trained, background-checked, and matched carefully with each participant. We believe that personal care is more than completing a task — it is about building a trusting relationship where participants feel comfortable and respected every single session.

Personal Care Services We Provide in Ballarat

How Personal Care Works at Gentle Grid

Every personal care arrangement begins with an initial meeting to understand your routine, preferences, and specific needs. We document a personalised support plan that guides your workers — not just what to do, but how you prefer things done. You are the expert on your own body and routine, and we follow your lead.

We work hard to provide consistent workers so you build familiarity and trust over time. If a regular worker is unavailable, we always inform you in advance and only send someone who has been briefed on your preferences.

Available 7 days a week including early mornings and evenings, because personal care needs don’t follow a 9-to-5 schedule. We work around your routine, not ours.

Who Benefits from Personal Care Support?

Personal care support is suitable for participants across a wide range of disability types and age groups, including people living with:

Frequently Asked Questions — Personal Care in Ballarat

How do I know if personal care is funded in my NDIS plan?
Look for the “Assistance with Daily Life” budget in your NDIS plan. Personal care falls under this category (support category 1, registration group 0107). If you are unsure, our team can review your plan with you and advise on what is funded.
Can I choose my own personal care worker?
We do our best to match you with workers whose skills and personality suit you. You are always welcome to provide feedback and request a change if a particular worker is not the right fit. Your comfort and safety come first, and we will work with you to find the right match.
What happens if my regular personal care worker is sick?
We will contact you as early as possible and arrange a replacement worker who has been briefed on your care requirements. We maintain a pool of trained backup workers specifically for this reason.
Do you provide personal care for complex needs like PEG feeding or bowel care?
Yes — complex personal care tasks fall under High Intensity Personal Care (registration group 0104). We have workers and nurses trained in these procedures. See our High Intensity Care page for more information.
