What Are Core & Community Supports?

Core and community supports are the foundation of many NDIS plans. They help participants manage daily routines, build independence, access their community, and develop the skills and confidence needed to live the life they choose.

At Evia Health, we take a nurse-led approach to all our services — including community supports. This means your care team has clinical oversight, ensuring that even non-clinical supports are delivered safely and with an understanding of your broader health needs. It's a level of quality that most community support providers simply cannot offer.

We provide core and community supports across Melbourne's Bayside, Inner South, Kingston, Monash, Greater Dandenong, and Frankston regions.

Is This Right for You?

Who Are Community Supports For?

Core and community supports are designed for NDIS participants who need assistance with daily living, community access, or building independence. This includes participants who:

  • Need help with personal care tasks like showering, dressing, and grooming
  • Want support to access community activities, social events, or recreation
  • Are developing life skills for greater independence
  • Need assistance with household tasks like cleaning, laundry, and meal preparation
  • Require transport to appointments, activities, or social engagements
  • Are transitioning between life stages or living arrangements
  • Need medication prompting or management support
  • Live in shared accommodation and need daily support

Our nurse-led approach means that even participants with underlying health conditions receive community support from a team that understands their clinical needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are core and community support services under the NDIS?

Core and community supports are NDIS-funded services that help participants with daily living, community access, social participation, and skill development. They include personal care assistance, household tasks, transport, community nursing care, and group or centre-based activities.

What is the difference between core supports and capacity building?

Core supports help with everyday activities and current needs — like personal care, household tasks, and community access. Capacity building supports focus on developing skills and independence over time — like daily living skills training, social skill development, and transition planning. Evia Health provides both types of support.

Can Evia Health help with community access and social activities?

Yes. We support participants to access their community, attend social and recreational activities, participate in group programmes, and build the skills and confidence needed for greater independence and social connection.

Does Evia Health provide transport support?

Yes. We provide transport assistance to help participants get to medical appointments, community activities, social events, and other engagements. Transport can be provided as part of a broader support package or as a standalone service.
