Our Daily Living and Independence services focus on building the skills needed to manage everyday life with greater confidence. Delivered by qualified support workers, this service helps people develop routines, strengthen decision making, and practise practical tasks in real-world settings, both at home and out in the community. 

 

Support is personalised, goal-focused, and aligned with NDIS funding to encourage long-term independence rather than reliance. 

 

Our services are available throughout Melbourne, Victoria, including regional areas, around Ararat, Ballarat, Bendigo, Shepparton and Wangaratta.

Why choose VMCH for Help at Home?

  • You can feel confident knowing our services meet NDIS Practice Standards and quality requirements.

    As a registered provider, we deliver support that is safe, transparent, and aligned with your NDIS plan.

  • We have a long history of supporting people and families throughout Victoria, including both metropolitan and regional communities.

    This local experience means we understand what’s available in your area and how to support you to access it.

  • All VMCH support workers hold a Certificate IV in Disability Services, with additional nursing-qualified staff within our team where required.

    You’re supported by people who are trained, capable, and committed to doing their job well.

  • We don’t outsource support to agencies. Every support worker is employed, trained, and supported directly by VMCH, which means greater consistency, better communication, and a higher standard of care you can rely on.
  • Where possible, we match support workers to your interests, preferences, and goals. This helps build trust, comfort, and genuine connection, so support feels more natural and less transactional.

    This is also where our person-centred approach comes to life. Support is shaped around you, your goals, and your NDIS plan, with flexibility to change as your needs evolve.

  • We prioritise long-term relationships over rotating staff. Being supported by familiar faces means less explaining, more understanding, and support that grows with you over time.
