Understanding Person-Centred Care: Why It Matters in NDIS & Aged Care
What Is Person-Centred Care?
Person-centred care is more than a buzzword, it’s an approach that puts *you* at the heart of every decision about your support.
Instead of a “one-size-fits-all” plan, person-centred care asks:
* What are your goals?
* How do you want to live your life?
* What matters most to you?
In other words, it’s about listening first, planning second.
Imagine going to a tailor for a suit or dress. They don’t just hand you something off the rack, they take measurements, talk about your style, and make adjustments so it fits perfectly. That’s what person-centred care does for your support plan, it’s custom-fit for your life.
If you or your loved one is receiving NDIS or aged care support, the way care is delivered can make all the difference. Person-centred care ensures:
Your voice is heard – Your opinions, routines, and preferences shape your care plan.
Greater independence – Support is designed to help you do more for yourself, not less.
Better quality of life – Care that aligns with your goals means you’re working toward the life you want.
Stronger relationships – You’re not just a “client,” you’re a partner in the process.
