Assistance with Self-Care Activities
Our Assistance with Self-Care Activities
Practical, respectful, and empowering daily living support for Canberra NDIS participants
At Make The Time, we provide Assistance with Self-Care Activities to NDIS participants across Canberra. We see self-care as more than a routine, it’s the foundation for independence, dignity, and well-being.
We specialise in supporting young people, including those with complex behaviours and additional needs, through personalised, goal-driven self-care programs. With us, every interaction is purposeful, every skill is practised with care, and every achievement is measured not assumed.

What is Assistance with Self-Care in the NDIS?
Assistance with Self-Care Activities is an NDIS-funded service that helps participants with personal tasks and health routines at home or in the community. The aim is to develop skills and confidence so they can live as independently as possible.
Our Canberra self-care service is ideal for:
- Young people developing independent living skills
- Participants needing daily personal care assistance
- Individuals with complex behavioural or health needs
- Families seeking respectful, professional in-home or community-based care
- Support coordinators wanting measurable outcomes for their clients
We don’t just “help” with self-care, we mentor, teach, and empower participants to do more for themselves over time.
