Maintaining good health and a balanced lifestyle is important for everyone—and even more so for people living with disability or chronic conditions. Through the NDIS, participants can access supports and information that make healthy living achievable and enjoyable. In this article, we cover key areas that form the foundation of everyday wellness.
1. Everyday Nutrition
Balanced meals: Include a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
Hydration matters: Drinking enough water helps with energy, digestion, and concentration.
Personalised planning: Dietitians and nutritionists can help design meal plans to meet specific needs, such as food allergies or special medical conditions.
2. Physical Activity for All Abilities
Gentle exercise like stretching, yoga, or aquatic therapy can improve flexibility and circulation.
NDIS-funded physiotherapy or exercise physiology sessions can help create safe, enjoyable routines.
Assistive technology (wheelchairs, mobility aids) can make movement more comfortable and sustainable.
3. Mental & Emotional Wellbeing
Regular social interaction and community participation build confidence and reduce feelings of isolation.
Mindfulness, relaxation techniques, or counselling services—often claimable through an NDIS plan—support stress management.
Consistent sleep routines help with mood regulation and energy.
4. Preventive Healthcare
Schedule regular check-ups with your GP, dentist, and specialists to catch health concerns early.
Stay up to date with vaccinations and recommended screenings.
Keep a personal health record to share with support workers and healthcare providers.
5. Building a Support Network
Engage family, friends, and support workers in your wellness goals.
Make use of NDIS services like Support Coordination to organise care and resources.
Join local groups or online communities to share experiences and find encouragement.
