I want to learn how to cook my own meals.
Supports we provide
Getting nourishment from regular meals is key to your health and overall wellbeing, but lack of energy, motivation or accessible shopping options may be getting in the way. Our support workers can provide meal assistance, from shopping for ingredients to cleaning up in the kitchen, so you can continue to enjoy your favourite dishes.
- Promoting your independence by teaching you skills around cooking and meal prep
- Creating a shopping list
- Driving or accompanying you to the shops
- Unpacking and putting away food items
- Assisting with meal preparation
- Monitoring your pantry
- Checking food expiry dates
- and more
Shopping and meal preparation support excludes NDIS mealtime management services such as nutritional and texture advice. However, if you require this due to a condition such as mild to severe dysphagia, reach out to our team to undergo a full assessment of your needs.
