What Is High Intensity Personal Care?

High Intensity Personal Care refers to complex daily personal activities that may require additional worker training, clinical input, risk management, and ongoing review. These supports may be needed when a participant has advanced personal care needs, medical support requirements, mobility limitations, complex disability needs, or health-related care routines.


The NDIS Commission describes high-intensity daily personal activities as a registration class under the NDIS Practice Standards, with specific requirements for providers delivering these supports.


This type of care may support participants who need assistance with tasks that must be completed carefully, consistently, and in accordance with a documented support plan.

How Benity Care Delivers High Intensity Support

High intensity support must be delivered with care, consistency, and clear procedures. Benity Care’s existing high-intensity support page explains that participant engagement and control are central to its approach. It also states that trusted health practitioners create support management plans, workers receive review and refresher training, and the organisation follows NDIS support skills descriptors when implementing high-intensity support plans.
