Yes, meal planning and cooking support is an important part of Supported Independent Living for NDIS participants in Hobart. SIL is designed to help people manage everyday tasks while building independence, and preparing meals is a key daily activity.
Meal Planning
Support workers help participants plan meals that suit their tastes, dietary needs and health goals. This may include creating weekly meal plans, grocery lists and learning how to budget for food. Participants are supported to make their own choices wherever possible.
Cooking Support
Cooking assistance is tailored to each person. Some participants cook alongside a support worker, while others need help with preparation, using appliances or staying safe in the kitchen. The aim is to support participants without taking over.
Skill Building
Over time, SIL focuses on teaching basic cooking skills, food safety and simple recipes. This helps participants gain confidence and work towards greater independence.
Shared Living
In shared SIL homes, support workers help organise kitchen routines, shared meals and cleaning responsibilities so everyone feels comfortable and respected.
