My Family and Carers
Are my biggest supporters
Family, carers and other informal supporters play a central role in caring for, and supporting, me with living with my disability. Their involvement helps me to access and engage with a range of systems and services, as well as ability to exercise legal capacity.
Family members, carers and other supporters are involved across a range of aspects of my daily life, living with disability. Their involvement in the context of decision-making varies depending on the nature of the issue and the decision, and may range from informal support, to appointment as a nominee for the purposes of Centrelink or the NDIS, or formal appointment as a guardian or administrator.
Family and Carers help me in reaching goals including, but not limited to:
-
Living Skills Development - Covering such things as maintaining good personal hygiene, sleep routines, housekeeping, grocery shopping, and household budgeting.
-
Community Social Support - Assisting me to access and participate in community through peer groups, clubs, activities, open days and volunteering.
-
Financial Skills Development - Teaching me to develop and manage a budget, plus learn new ideas to save money shopping, saving and spending safely.
-
Healthy Lifestyle Planning - Reach goals around healthy eating, exercise and cooking skills and strategies.
