What Is NDIS Development & Support of Life Skills?

Development and support of life skills is NDIS-funded support that helps you build the everyday abilities you need to live more independently. It covers practical skills like cooking, budgeting, using public transport, managing medication routines, and staying safe at home. The support is delivered one step at a time, matched to the goals in your NDIS plan.

For many participants, this is one of the most practical parts of a plan. It is not about being told what to do. It is about learning skills at your own pace, with a support worker who adjusts the approach as your confidence grows.

How Our Life Skills Programs Are Built Around You

No two participants have the same goals. That is why our approach to NDIS life skills development starts with listening. We develop a personalised support plan based on your NDIS goals and what matters most to you right now.

Some participants prefer one-on-one sessions; others build confidence faster in small group settings. We offer both. Scheduling is flexible to suit your lifestyle, your commitments, and the way your energy fluctuates week to week.
Our support workers are trained, experienced, and matched to each participant carefully. They bring practical knowledge of local Perth services, community venues, and transport routes. That local knowledge means training feels real, not rehearsed.

Life Skills Support Built Around Your Goals

Explain that every participant has different goals. Support should be personalised around the practical skills that matter most to their daily routine, lifestyle and independence goals.

How Developing Daily Living Skills Can Support Greater Independence

Focus on practical outcomes, including:
  • Greater confidence with everyday tasks
  • Better organisation and planning
  • Increased confidence making everyday decisions
  • More control over daily routines
  • Progress towards personal independence goals

Who Can Access Life Skills Support Under the NDIS?

If you are an NDIS participant, you can access life skills support if your plan includes capacity-building funding under the Improved Daily Living category. This is separate from your Core Supports budget and is specifically intended for skill-building activities rather than day-to-day assistance.
You do not need to be entirely independent already to access this support. Many participants access life skills programs precisely because they want to reduce the level of support they need over time. The NDIS recognises that goal explicitly in how capacity-building supports are structured.
Speak with your NDIS planner or Local Area Coordinator (LAC) if you are unsure whether your current plan includes this funding. If it does not, you can request it at your next plan review, with evidence from a qualified provider such as Achieve Disability Care.

Our Simple Four-step Process

Step 1
Initial Consultation
We meet with you (and your family or carer, if you choose) to understand your current situation, your NDIS plan, and your goals for life skills development in Perth.
Step 2
Goal Assessment

We review your NDIS plan together and identify which skills align with your funded capacity-building supports.

Step 3
Custom Support Plan

We create a personalised plan that outlines your goals, the type of support you will receive, how often sessions will occur, and how progress will be tracked.

Step 4
Ongoing Progress Tracking

We check in regularly to measure progress, adjust the plan where needed, and make sure your support continues to reflect where you are now, not where you were when we started.
