Supported Independent Living - High Intensity - Saturday

Line Item Description

NDIS line item 01_814_0138_1_1 for Supported Independent Living High Intensity Saturday provides funding for continuous, specialised care on Saturdays for participants with high support needs. This line item is utilised when a participant requires continual active support throughout the weekend to safely manage complex disability requirements.

Key Inclusions and Parameters
* High Intensity Requirements: This level of support is funded when a participant requires support workers with extra qualifications and experience due to high support needs, such as managing unstable seizure activity or providing respiratory support.
* Active Saturday Support: Covers direct assistance or active monitoring for daily activities in the home on a Saturday, 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 high intensity support to live alone.

Provider Expectations
* All Supported Independent Living supports, including high intensity weekend care, must be managed and delivered strictly by a registered NDIS provider.
* The registered provider is responsible for ensuring their support workers possess the necessary extra qualifications and training to meet the participant's specific high intensity support needs.
