Assist – Life Stage, Transition
Steady support through big changes, from leaving school or moving house to new routines and services.
Overview
About our Assist – Life Stage, Transition support
Life is full of transitions: finishing school, starting work or study, moving out of home, leaving hospital, or changing the services you rely on. These moments can bring opportunity, but they can also feel overwhelming.
Our Life Stage and Transition support gives you steady, practical help to plan ahead, understand your options and connect with the right services and people, so each change feels manageable and is shaped by your choices.
We also help you build the skills to coordinate your own supports over time, including understanding your NDIS plan, keeping track of appointments and speaking up for what you want.
Who this support is for
- Young people leaving school and planning for work, study or day programs
- People moving out of home or into a new living arrangement
- Participants leaving hospital, rehabilitation or another care setting
- Anyone facing a big change who wants help to plan and coordinate supports

NDIS funding
How this support is funded
This support is usually funded from the Capacity Building – Support Coordination budget in your NDIS plan. Every plan is different, so we will check your plan with you and explain costs before your support starts.
Prices follow the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits. Everyday living costs, such as rent, groceries and entry fees, are not usually covered by NDIS funding.
FAQs
Common questions
Is this the same as support coordination?
Life stage and transition support is closely related to support coordination. It focuses on helping you plan for, and move through, significant changes while building your ability to manage your own supports.
Can you help my child move from school to work or study?
Yes. We can help plan for life after school, explore work, study or community options and coordinate the supports needed for a smooth move.
What if I do not have this support in my plan?
Talk to us. We can explain what this support involves and what information may help when you discuss your needs with the NDIA at your next plan review.
