Supported Independent Living - Standard - Public Holiday

Line Item Description

NDIS line item 01_806_0138_1_1 for Supported Independent Living Standard Public Holiday provides funding for continuous, standard-level active care on recognised public holidays for participants with higher support needs. This line item is utilised when a participant requires continual support at home but does not require workers with extra qualifications for complex medical or behavioural needs.

Key Inclusions and Parameters
* Standard Intensity Requirements: This level of support is funded for the majority of participants who need standard active disability support for daily tasks, without needing highly specialised staff.
* Public Holiday Continuity: Supported independent living funding accommodates an average of 12 public holidays per year, ensuring participants receive uninterrupted essential assistance on these specific days.
* Active Holiday Support: Covers direct assistance or active monitoring for daily activities in the home on a public holiday, including personal care, getting ready, cooking, eating, drinking, and cleaning.
* Flexible Delivery: This support is generally funded for participants sharing NDIS supports with others, but can also be applied if the participant needs support to live alone.

Provider Expectations
* All Supported Independent Living supports, including standard public holiday care, must be managed and delivered strictly by a registered NDIS provider.
