NDIS Development Life Skills Services

Empowering You to Build Confidence, Independence, and Everyday Life Skills

At Advantage Care, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live an independent, confident, and fulfilling life. Our NDIS Development Life Skills support is designed to do just that—helping individuals with disabilities develop the everyday life skills needed to take control of their lives, manage their daily living routines, and actively participate in their communities.

We offer tailored training and development activities across Melbourne, providing people living with disabilities the tools and knowledge they need to live more independently. Whether it’s learning how to cook, manage money, use public transport, or improve communication and social skills, Advantage Care is here to help you reach your goals.

What Are NDIS Development Life Skills?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) funds supports that help participants gain the confidence and ability to manage day-to-day activities and live more independently. The development of daily living and life skills refers to training that builds the functional capacity of participants to live autonomously and improve their quality of life.

This service is especially beneficial for individuals with a disability that affects their ability to perform everyday tasks such as personal care, cooking, budgeting, and more. The goal is to empower each participant to develop the skills NDIS deems essential for personal growth and independence.

At Advantage Care, our life skills training is completely personalised to match your individual goals, abilities, and preferences. Our experienced support workers are trained to deliver engaging, practical sessions focused on real-life application.

Key Benefits of Life Skills Development Support

Our NDIS Development Life Skills support goes beyond training—it transforms lives. Here’s how:

• Live a more independent life through practical skills development

• Enhance your confidence and independence in daily routines

• Improve personal care, hygiene, and household management

• Learn to manage your finances and budget responsibly

• Develop stronger communication and social skills

• Increase community participation and reduce isolation

• Prepare for employment, education, or volunteer opportunities

• Travel independently using public transport

This service helps participants gain mastery over daily activities that support long-term, sustainable independence.

What Life Skills Can You Develop?

We offer a broad range of life skills training options, depending on your specific goals and level of support required. Here are some of the areas we cover:

1. Assessment and Goal Setting

Every journey begins with understanding. We take time to assess your current abilities and create a plan that reflects your needs and goals, while identifying opportunities for growth and learning.

2. Daily Living Skills

Develop your capacity to manage day-to-day activities such as cooking, cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, and home safety. These daily living skills are essential for independent living.

3. Personal Hygiene and Self-Care

Our support workers help participants with personal care routines including bathing, grooming, dressing, and understanding health-related hygiene practices. These life skill sessions promote dignity and confidence.

4. Communication and Social Skills

Building effective communication skills improves relationships and everyday interactions. We support participants in developing verbal and non-verbal communication, listening, turn-taking, and emotional awareness.

5. Financial Management and Budgeting

Learn how to manage your finances, from creating a budget to understanding banking, paying bills, and saving for goals. This critical life skill is included in most NDIS life skills support plans.

6. Community Participation

Learn how to actively participate in the community—whether that means attending social events, joining a club, or volunteering. We foster a sense of belonging and encourage being a part of a community.

7. Public Transport Training

Gain confidence in using public transport, including route planning, safety awareness, and ticketing. These skills are important for expanding your access to work, school, or social outings.

8. Health and Wellbeing

We guide participants in understanding personal health and fitness, meal planning, stress management, and creating routines that support overall wellbeing.

9. Recreation and Hobbies

Discover and explore new hobbies and recreational activities that contribute to a fulfilling life and open up opportunities for community participation.
