About the service
About Capacity Building & Life Skills under the NDIS
Development of daily living and life skills helps participants build the practical capabilities to live more independently — cooking and meal planning, budgeting and managing money, using public transport, personal organisation, and self-care routines. The aim is lasting independence over time, not ongoing hands-on assistance, so support is tailored to your goals and often practised in real settings like your own kitchen, local shops, or public transport.
The distinguishing feature is developmental intent: where personal care does tasks for a person, life-skills support teaches the person to do those tasks themselves, using coaching, modelling, and graded practice with fewer prompts over time. Funding comes from capacity-building supports, and clear, specific goals make it effective. When choosing a provider, look for workers skilled in teaching and coaching rather than just assisting, an approach tailored to your goals, and a focus on building and measuring genuine independence.
