Development of Daily Living and Life Skills

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides a range of services to support people with disabilities in developing life skills. These services are designed to help NDIS participants gain the necessary skills and knowledge to achieve their goals and improve their quality of life.

Accessing life skills services is a straightforward process for NDIS participants. They can request this service through their NDIS plan by discussing their skill development needs with their support coordinator or NDIS planner. Alternatively, they can find registered providers offering this service through the NDIS provider portal or by contacting the NDIS contact centre.
