What’s included

The supports under this service

We tailor the mix to you, but here’s what this service typically covers. Each maps to an NDIS support category your plan may fund.

Everyday life skills

Cooking, managing money, shopping and getting around on public transport — practical skills for living the way you want.

Navigating transitions

Leaving school, moving into your own place or starting a new chapter — we walk alongside you through life's bigger changes.

Goal-focused support

We start with what matters to you, then build a clear, structured plan to help you get there step by step.

Building independence

Support that gradually steps back as your confidence grows, so you're doing more for yourself over time.

How it’s funded

Where this sits in your NDIS plan

This support is generally funded under Capacity Building — Improved Daily Living and Increased Social and Community Participation. These parts of your plan are designed to help you learn new skills and take part more fully in everyday life.

Not sure what's in your plan? That's completely okay. We'll sit down with you, help you read it in plain English, and work out what fits — with no obligation. This support works however your plan is managed.
