Development of Life Skills support helps NDIS participants build practical abilities that support greater independence in everyday life. Support is tailored to your individual goals, abilities and the areas where you would like to become more confident.
We focus on the skills that matter most to you and practise them in real situations, at home and in the community, so they stick.
