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.
