Mealtime Management

Whether you or your loved one experiences a disability, there are supports available with funding from the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) which includes meal preparation services.

Consuming a healthy diet with regular, nutrient-packed meals is essential to our well-being and can significantly improve someone’s quality of life. Eating healthy starts with planning and preparation.

Eating a healthy diet is an important part of your overall health to improve your immune system and aids in recovery from certain illnesses.

This is important for people living with a disability who have higher risks of infections and chronic health conditions.

Food and beverages play an important role in overall health and wellbeing. Good dietary choices:

Contribute to quality of life
Help maintain a healthy body weight
Protect against infection
Reduce the risk of developing or exacerbating chronic health conditions

For people who are living with a disability, food preparation and serving without assistance can be an extremely daunting, challenging and unsafe task. There is a lot of confusion about what is, and isn’t healthy. It can be overwhelming to try and understand what is best for you.

These may include the following tasks:

Constructing meal plans and menus
Shopping for ingredients
Preparing or assisting with cooking meals
Washing up

NDIS funding is to eligible people based on their individual needs.
