Personal Care
Maple Support Workers assist people with Autism by helping them live as independently as possible. Whether you or your loved one is in a group home or living in a private residence, we come when needed to help with morning routines, personal hygiene, daily tasks like eating, drinking, and bathing, and assisting during appointments.
Household Tasks
At Maple, we understand the value of healthy eating and keeping a clean home. As a part of our NDIS services, we provide help with household tasks like cleaning, meal preparation, banking, shopping, and so much more.
Travel and Transport
Maple Community Services are here for you or your loved one by assisting with transport to and from wherever needed or desired. We provide transportation to appointments, outings, or for students, to and from school.
Garden Maintenance
If you or your loved one cannot take care of gardening tasks, the NDIS provides funding to use for this support service. At Maple, we do the gardening for you, allowing you to eat fresh vegetables and keep your lawn tidy.
Community Participation
Maple Community Services can assist you or your loved one in accessing and participating in the community. We guide, support, mentor, and motivate you to succeed and reach set goals for social interaction and recreation.
Development - life skills
Developing Life Skills is all about building your or your loved one’s confidence and enabling independent living. We do this by developing a plan which gives you the training needed to achieve life goals. Supports we provide in this area include educating on personal hygiene, maintaining a clean environment at home, and organisational skills to name a few.
Core Supports
Core Supports are the services that enable you to complete activities of daily living, working towards your goals, and meeting your objectives.
Support Coordination
Support Coordination means we help you identify, coordinate and access support services and disability services providers on your behalf.
Plan Management
Plan Management consists of supporting you to manage your NDIS Funding. We are the connection between you, providers, and the NDIA.
Accommodation
Accommodation/SIL provides assistance and/or supervision of daily tasks to help you live as independently and happily as possible.
Yes! Because Autism is a permanent disability, it is covered by the NDIS in most cases, depending on the severity of your or your loved one’s condition. As of 2019, the average NDIS participant with Autism received $32,800 annually.
For children under the age of seven, the amount was $16,700.
At Maple, we can assist you in the process of assessment to see if you or your loved one qualifies for NDIS Autism benefits. If you or your loved one meets the criteria, we have the capacity to provide the services needed.
The NDIS funds several critical services for people with Autism. These include speech and occupational therapy, physiotherapy, personal care support, community access support, nutritional support, skill development, and behavioural support.
NDIS funding can also provide sensory toys, holiday camps, or pay for a Support Worker to assist you or your loved one at home. The types and amounts of funding available are determined partly by the level of severity.
For children younger than seven years of age, NDIS funding provides early interventions, takes a family-centred approach, and helps families connect with Autism Services Providers.
At Maple, we can assist you or your loved one with the NDIS Application to receive your or your loved one’s rightful funding.
Skills & Qualifications of Our Autism Support Workers
Our Support Workers for Autism have studied and trained diligently to understand and respond to the needs of children and adults with autism. Our team engages in continuing education to hone their skills and keep up with the latest developments in Autism Care.

Is Autism Level 1 Covered by NDIS?
Possibly. Autism Level 1 severity includes autism spectrum conditions that need some support but are milder than level 2 or level 3. Some of these conditions include Asperger syndrome, childhood autism, atypical autism, and developmental disorders.
If you or your child has level 1 Autism, the NDIS rules will require further assessments to determine eligibility for NDIS funding. Speak to one of our Autism Support Workers for more details on how we can help.
