How Our Support Workers Make a Difference

Emotional Support That Goes Beyond the Basics

One of the most important roles our support workers play is offering genuine emotional support and day-to-day assistance to NDIS participants. Whether someone is living with a psychosocial disability, Autism, or an Intellectual Disability, the journey can often feel overwhelming, isolating, or uncertain.

At Astute Living Care, our team is trained to provide more than just practical help — we create a safe, supportive space where participants feel seen, heard, and empowered. From developing personalised coping strategies to building trusting relationships, our support workers are there to walk alongside participants every step of the way, helping them build confidence, connection, and a greater sense of independence.

Practical Support for Everyday Living

Another essential part of the support we offer is hands-on assistance with daily living activities. Whether it’s due to a psychosocial disability, Autism, or an Intellectual Disability, many participants may find tasks like cooking, cleaning, personal hygiene, or household management challenging at times.
Our support workers step in with compassionate, respectful help that empowers participants to maintain their independence and comfort at home. We focus on building capability, promoting routines, and supporting everyday life in a way that’s tailored to each person’s unique needs and preferences.

Skilled Support for Complex Behaviours

Our team is experienced in supporting individuals with complex behaviours related to Psychosocial Disability, Autism, and Intellectual Disability. We use proactive, evidence-based strategies and a trauma-informed, person-centred approach to ensure each participant feels safe, respected, and understood. By working closely with behaviour support practitioners and creating calm, structured environments, we help manage challenges and promote positive outcomes.

They can also help with:

Formulating a recovery plan with the participant
Providing community access and reducing social isolation
Encouraging physical activity, walking and going to the gym
Providing support with shopping and attending medical appointments
Capacity building by educating participants and mentoring them
Keeping the house clean
Meal planning and grocery shopping
Cooking
Paying bills

Personal care and grooming

Medication management

Managing medication can be a crucial part of daily life for many NDIS participants, particularly those living with mental health conditions, Autism, or Intellectual Disabilities. Our support workers are trained to assist with medication routines, helping to ensure participants stay on track with their prescribed treatment plans.

This includes:
(1) Providing gentle reminders to take medication on time
(2) Monitoring medication compliance and daily routines
(3) Liaising with healthcare providers, pharmacists, and family members when needed
(4) Supporting participants to better understand their medications and why they’re important

Our goal is to make medication management safe, simple, and stress-free — while promoting participant independence and wellbeing.

Connecting You with the Right Support

Navigating the NDIS can be overwhelming — especially when living with a Psychosocial Disability, Autism, or an Intellectual Disability.

Our support workers make the process easier by connecting participants with the right services, resources, and professionals to help them reach their goals.
We assist with care coordination, referrals, and understanding NDIS plans, while also advocating within care teams to ensure holistic, person-centred support.
At Astute Living Care, we believe in wraparound care — tailored to promote wellbeing, independence, and a better quality of life.

Imagine waking up every day, wondering who your support worker will be, or whether they truly understand your unique needs. At Astute Living Care, no one should face this uncertainty. Our approach is simple—tailored care, trusted relationships, and a focus on your comfort and well-being. Read some real story here. Follow us on LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram to get updates.
