Overview

About our Development – Life Skills support

Life skills grow through practice, encouragement and support that feels relevant to your life. Our Development – Life Skills support helps you build practical abilities that make everyday life easier and more independent.

Sessions are hands-on and tailored to your goals. You might learn to cook a few favourite meals, manage a weekly budget, use public transport, keep track of appointments or handle everyday conversations with more confidence.

We set clear goals with you, track your progress and celebrate the wins along the way, so you can see how far you have come.

NDIS funding

How this support is funded

This support is usually funded from the Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living 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

How is this different from daily personal support?

Personal support helps you complete tasks. Life skills support focuses on teaching and practising those tasks, so over time you can do more for yourself.

How long will it take to learn a new skill?

Everyone learns at their own pace. We set realistic goals together and review your progress regularly.

Can sessions happen at my home?

Yes. Many skills are best practised where you will use them, such as your own kitchen or local shops.
