- NDIS Core Supports
Everyday support to help you live more independently.
Core Supports are one of the main support budgets in an NDIS plan. They are designed to help participants with everyday activities, daily living needs, and community participation. The NDIS explains that Core Supports help participants with everyday activities and getting involved in the community. NDIS
At Next Step Life Care, we provide practical and compassionate support that can help participants feel safer, more comfortable, and more independent at home and in daily life.
Our Core Supports may include assistance through services such as In-Home Support, Cleaning Services, and Gardening Services, depending on the participant’s NDIS plan and support needs.
- Everyday Support
Support for daily life, home comfort, and independence.
Core Supports are generally focused on practical day-to-day assistance. They may help participants manage daily routines, receive support at home, access services, and participate more confidently in everyday life.
Core Supports can include categories such as assistance with daily life, assistance with social and community participation, and consumables. NDIS

- Using Your Plan
Your plan should guide the support you receive.
Every NDIS participant’s plan is different. The funding and services available to you will depend on your individual support needs, goals, and the way your NDIS plan is structured.
The NDIS states that every plan has four support budgets: Core Supports, Capacity Building Supports, Capital Supports, and Recurring Supports. Not every participant will have funding in every budget because each plan is based on individual needs. NDIS
It is important to check your plan or speak with your support coordinator, plan manager, or provider before starting services.
Important Note:
Next Step Life Care can help you understand which of our services may suit your plan, but NDIS funding decisions and eligibility are managed by the NDIA.
