Individual Support
Individual Support is great for outings with a Support Worker to pursue your NDIS goals, assist you with exercise and sporting activities, to attend appointments, or to participate in the community.
-
Capacity Building
Capacity building supports under the NDIS are designed to help participants develop the skills and confidence needed to live more independently and achieve their personal goals. Activities such as cooking and cleaning play a key role in building everyday life skills.
Through guided support, participants can learn how to plan meals, shop for ingredients, prepare food safely, maintain a clean living environment, and manage daily routines. These activities promote independence and improve confidence, decision-making skills and overall wellbeing.

Keeping fit and healthy
At Interchange Illawarra we understand how important exercise is for your overall health and wellbeing.
Your NDIS goals might be focused on increasing fitness to build strength and increase mobility.
An individual support shift could assist you to engage in regular physical activity, develop healthy routines or improve your confidence in participating in community or attend the gym. -
Community Participation
Through community participation, individuals can develop essential life and communication skills, expand their social networks, and enjoy a greater sense of connection and inclusion.
An individual support shift can be used to assist you to work on your NDIS goals. -

Special Events
We attend all St. George Illawarra Dragon’s home games, and have ‘watch parties’ for the away games. We also are big Illawarra Hawks fans! We regularly attend musicals, shows and special events like the Royal Easter Show too.
If you need Individual Support to attend a special event we can find you a Support Worker who can assist you. -
Attending Appointments
If you need assistance to attend an appointment (including things like a doctor’s visit, occupational therapy or a check-up at the dentist) we can arrange for a Support Worker to go with you.
All Interchange Illawarra Support Workers have access to a comprehensively insured vehicle and can provide transport for participants.
