Development of Daily Life & Social Skills
Our support workers help participants build the practical life, social, and communication capabilities needed for everyday self-reliance — from budgeting and cooking to navigating public transit.
Who This Support May Suit
This support is tailored for NDIS participants who require personalized assistance with their daily routines, community engagement, or clinical healthcare:
- Participants seeking to increase their everyday independence and rely less on formal or informal supports over time.
- Young adults transitioning from secondary school into independent living, tertiary study, or community employment.
- Individuals wanting to build confidence in money management, household budgeting, cooking, or using public transport.
- NDIS participants with Capacity Building funding (Increased Social and Community Participation or Daily Activity).
Note: Suitability is confirmed collaboratively during intake based on your routine preferences, geographic location, and NDIS plan funding. SAHCSS does not make medical or outcome guarantees.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is skills development different from daily personal care?
Personal care focuses on assisting you with immediate daily tasks. Skills development is goal-focused coaching that teaches you how to perform tasks independently over time.
What NDIS category funds Life Skills Development?
This support is typically funded under Capacity Building — Development of Daily Living and Life Skills (Category 09), or Core Supports.
Can goals be adjusted as I make progress?
Yes. We regularly review your skill progression with you, your family, or your Support Coordinator to adapt goals and celebrate milestones.
Where do skills training sessions take place?
Sessions take place in real-world environments — inside your home, at local grocery stores, on public buses/trains, and in community settings.
Do you support young adults leaving school?
Yes. We frequently work with school leavers to build routines for work, study, independent travel, and managing everyday household responsibilities.
