Life Skills Development


Everyone deserves the chance to do more for themselves. Our Life Skills Development support helps you learn and practise the everyday skills that build confidence and independence, at your own pace and in a way that suits you.

What is Life Skills Development?


Life Skills Development is an NDIS capacity-building support. Rather than doing things for you, we work alongside you to build skills you can use every day, at home and in the community. We break skills into small, achievable steps and celebrate progress along the way.

We break skills into small, achievable steps and celebrate progress along the way.

Skills we can help you build:

Cooking, meal planning and healthy eating

Budgeting, paying bills and managing money

Shopping and making lists

Cleaning, laundry and household routines

Using public transport and planning trips

Managing appointments, medications and personal routines

Communication, social skills and confidence

How we work with you


Four simple steps

1) Get to know you: we talk about your goals and what you’d like to learn.

2) Make a plan: we agree on small, practical steps.

3) Practise together: in real settings like your kitchen, the shops or the bus.

4) Review and celebrate: we check progress and adjust as you grow.

Who is this for?


Life Skills Development is ideal for NDIS participants who:

want to do more things for themselves

are preparing to move out of home or into supported living

would like support to build confidence with money, cooking or travel

have Capacity Building: Improved Daily Living Skills, or related funding, in their NDIS plan

We work with NDIA-managed, plan-managed and self-managed participants.
