NDIS participant support
Build practical daily living skills for more independence.
Life-skills support provides practical opportunities to learn, practise and strengthen everyday abilities. Activities are paced around the participant and connected to goals that support greater confidence and independence.
Skills are introduced in practical settings and broken into achievable steps, with time to practise and build confidence. The emphasis is on abilities that matter in your daily life and support greater independence over time.
