Everyday daily living support.
I am an independent support worker with a strong background in communications technology. I provide practical assistance, prompting, and supervision with everyday activities, particularly where a person needs support to use their phone, computer, or online services.
During a support session, I can adjust everyday settings and accessibility features to help you complete the activity — for example, reading a message, contacting a service, managing an appointment, or communicating with others. My role is to help you participate, exercise choice, and do as much as possible for yourself.
Direct one-to-one support across metropolitan Adelaide. Self-managed and plan-managed participants welcome.

Independent Support Worker
"Practical assistance, prompting, and supervision so you can complete your daily activities and maintain choice and control."
Support work shaped by the tasks you need done today.
In modern life, everyday routines often involve an app, an SMS code, or a self-service checkout. When you need support with daily activities, my role is to sit beside you, prompt steps, and provide hands-on assistance so the job gets finished.
Because I have practical experience with communications devices, I can adjust standard accessibility features during our session — like text size, voice prompts, or simple home-screen shortcuts — so that doing the same task next time is more comfortable and straightforward for you.
Practical Assistance & Prompting
Assisting you through each step of a daily task at your own pace, whether that is booking a doctor’s visit, ordering household items, or confirming an appointment.
Everyday Device Adjustments
Tuning built-in settings on your phone or tablet (large text, voice-to-text, simple app grouping) directly as part of completing the daily living activity.
Choice, Control & Safeguards
You keep complete ownership of your accounts, banking, and passwords. I do not take over your personal details or make decisions on your behalf.
Everyday tasks we can work through together.
My support is grounded in real functional life. These are typical day-to-day activities where assistance, prompting, or device adjustments help you get things done:
Shopping & Groceries
Practical help organizing your shopping list, ordering bulky household items online, or supporting you through the self-service checkout at your local store.
Appointments & Healthcare
Assisting you to contact your GP, specialist clinic, or allied health providers; managing calendar reminders; and confirming appointment times.
Paying Everyday Bills
Sitting with you while you pay energy, water, or phone bills online, ensuring you retain total personal control of your card details and banking.
Government & Community Services
Prompting and supervision while checking messages, uploading documents, or reading updates across myGov, Centrelink, or Medicare.
Staying Connected
Helping you use email, messaging, or video calls so you can keep in regular contact with family, friends, support coordinators, and providers.
Checking Suspicious Messages
Supervised checking of text messages, emails, or delivery notifications so you can identify spam and avoid clicking unsafe links.
What my service is — and what it is not.
To ensure clear accountability, participant safety, and billing compliance, my work operates strictly within the scope of independent disability support work:
- • Provide direct hands-on assistance, prompting, and supervision with everyday activities.
- • Adjust built-in device settings (font size, voice dictation, shortcuts) during a session to directly enable that activity.
- • Support you to do as much as possible for yourself, building familiarity and confidence.
- • Work collaboratively with your Support Coordinator, Plan Manager, and allied health professionals.
- • Bill transparently under standard NDIS Core rates (Item 01_011_0107_1_1).
- • I am not an Assistive Technology (AT) Assessor and do not write clinical AT funding applications.
- • I do not conduct formal occupational therapy or clinical capacity assessments.
- • I do not provide computer repair shop services, hardware component repairs, or general IT consulting.
- • I do not hold, manage, or store your passwords, bank PINs, or confidential financial logins.
- • Where a task requires specialist assessment, I work strictly within appropriate professional guidance.
Flexible booking around your actual living needs.
Support work should fit the natural shape of your week. You decide when you need assistance — whether that is a regular session for shopping and life admin, or booking support when a specific task arises (like an upcoming appointment or a new portal requirement).
Every session is documented with clear case notes showing the daily activity supported, why assistance was required, and the practical steps completed together.
Identify the everyday task
We discuss what you want to achieve — managing groceries, contacting a service, reading messages, or organizing an appointment.
Practical support delivered side-by-side
I sit with you to provide prompting, guidance, and supervision. We adjust standard device features as needed so completing the task is practical.
Clear, audit-ready session notes
Your plan manager receives straightforward invoices and notes detailing the daily activity supported, ensuring complete funding peace of mind.
