One of our standout offerings is our specialised service in NDIS High Intensity Daily Personal Activities.
What are High Intensity Daily Personal Activities?
High Intensity Daily Personal Activities is the term used by the NDIS to describe NDIS high intensity supports. The more complex care some NDIS participants need to manage their daily lives.
It is a specialised level of support that offers services and assistance for participants to build their skills, independence and functional capabilities.
What are High Intensity Support Skills Descriptors?
The high intensity support skills descriptors (skills descriptors) describe the skills and knowledge that NDIS providers should ensure their workers have when supporting participants who rely on high intensity daily personal activities. These supports present some of the highest risks for participants.
Many of these supports are intensely personal in nature and require workers to communicate and work closely with the participant to understand when and how to deliver supports safely in ways that meet the participants’ preferences and daily routines.
The skills descriptors, frequently asked questions and further resources can be found via the NDIS website.

Frequently Asked Questions About NDIS High Intensity Support
What are High Intensity Daily Personal Activities under the NDIS?
High Intensity Daily Personal Activities is the NDIS term for complex, high-risk supports that some participants need to manage their daily lives, such as complex bowel care, enteral feeding, dysphagia management and catheter care.
These supports require specially trained workers due to the higher risks involved.
Who is eligible for NDIS high intensity supports?
Eligibility for high intensity supports is determined through your individual NDIS plan and planning process, based on your specific care needs. At Carer’s Network we can help you understand whether your current plan includes funding for these supports, or guide you through discussing them at your next plan review.
What qualifications do support workers need to provide high intensity support?
Workers must be trained against the NDIS High Intensity Support Skills Descriptors, and this training must be delivered by an appropriately qualified health practitioner. At Carer’s Network, our team is trained and assessed against these standards to safely support complex needs.
What's the difference between high intensity supports and standard NDIS personal care?
High intensity supports involve more complex, higher-risk care needs, such as clinical tasks like enteral feeding or catheter management. These require additional, specific training beyond standard personal care support. Standard supports typically cover general daily assistance without these clinical or high-risk elements.
How is high intensity support funding managed?
High intensity supports are funded through your NDIS plan and can be managed in one of three ways: self-managed, plan-managed, or NDIA-managed. Or, sometimes, a combination of the three.
