What is Development of Life Skills under the NDIS?

Development of daily living and life skills is NDIS support that helps participants build practical skills for everyday independence and community participation. It commonly includes structured coaching, prompting, and practice to develop routines and confidence at home and in the community, aligned to your plan goals and functional needs.

Who this is for

  • Participants funded for Improved Daily Living NDIS goals or functional independence outcomes

  • People wanting practical support to build skills at home and in the community

  • Families seeking consistent routines that are easy to maintain

  • Support Coordinators needing a clear plan-aligned skill-building option

How it works

  • Intake to confirm plan goals, safety considerations, and preferred routine targets

  • Create a simple skills plan (1–3 skills at a time)

  • Deliver weekly skill sessions with measurable progress notes

  • Review outcomes and increase independence steps over time

   What we help you build (life skills programmes)

Travel training NDIS

Practice routes, public transport routines, road safety, and community navigation with structured support.

Social & community skills

Confidence for community participation, communication routines, and joining local activities.

Funding for Development of Life Skills NDIS (Capacity Building)

Development of life skills is typically funded under your NDIS plan’s Capacity Building supports, often described as Improved Daily Living NDIS. The specific budget line and supports will depend on your goals and what is stated in your plan. If you have capacity-building goals such as building independence at home and in the community, Trinity Care Nursing can align your support with those goals and provide clear session notes to support plan reporting.

​

Which NDIS budget is usually used?

Most participants access life skills supports through Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living. In some situations, parts of skill-building delivered alongside day-to-day assistance may be supported through Core Supports (for example, when the main purpose is assistance with daily life and the skill element is embedded), but the best fit depends on your plan wording and goals.

​

What we need to confirm your funding quickly

To confirm the best way to use your funding, we can review:

  • Your plan goals (especially independence and daily living goals)

  • Current plan manager details (if applicable)

  • Any relevant assessments or reports (OT, hospital discharge notes, allied health recommendations)

  • Your preferred service area (Western Sydney, Hills District, Newcastle, Central Coast)

Funding and budgets vary by plan. We confirm the most suitable pathway during intake and align services to plan goals and required documentation.

FAQs – Development of Life Skills NDIS (Improved Daily Living)

What is Development of Life Skills under the NDIS? Development of Life Skills is support that helps you build practical independence skills aligned to your NDIS goals. It can include routine coaching, skill practice at home and in the community, and structured support to improve confidence with daily living tasks and community participation.

Is Development of Life Skills the same as Improved Daily Living NDIS? They are related but not identical. “Improved Daily Living” is commonly used for capacity-building supports, while “development of daily living and life skills” describes skill-building outcomes delivered through structured support and goal-based practice. Your plan goals and funding lines determine what applies.

What life skills can you help with? We support practical skills such as routines, meal planning, basic cooking, community access routines, travel training NDIS, money habits, and social participation skills. Supports are selected based on your goals and what is safe and appropriate for you.

Do you offer travel training NDIS? Yes. Travel training NDIS can include practising safe community navigation, public transport routines, route planning, and confidence-building for appointments and activities. We keep sessions structured and goal-based.

Do you provide cooking classes for disabled adults? We provide practical cooking skill support focused on independence: meal planning, simple recipes, kitchen routines, and safe food handling—tailored to ability, goals, and safety requirements.

Is budgeting help available through the NDIS? Some plans may support skills that improve daily living independence. If “budgeting” is part of a functional routine goal, we can support structured skill practice and habit-building aligned to plan goals.

How do you measure progress? We keep goals specific and track progress through routines achieved, level of prompting required, and consistency over time. We can align progress notes to what Support Coordinators and Plan Managers typically need.

Can Support Coordinators refer directly? Yes. Coordinators can submit a referral via our referral form or contact us to confirm capacity and suitability. We aim to respond quickly for intake.

Development of life skills is commonly funded under Capacity Building, often listed as Improved Daily Living NDIS, when the support relates to building independence and achieving plan goals.
