Life Skills And Daily Living

If you are a NDIS participant, you may be able to fund Daily Living and Life Skills development and support with your NDIS plan, so long as your inability to do certain tasks is related to your disability, and the support is reasonable and necessary to increase your independence and help you reach your goals. Depending on the support you require, your funding might fall under the Core Supports or Capacity Building categories.

For assistance and advice, chat to your support coordinator or Local Area Coordinator. You can also give us a call we’re happy to chat to you about your situation. If you are not yet a NDIS participant, we can give some guidance on the application process.

Learning everyday skills for life can have many benefits for you and your loved ones. These include:

• Being able to live as independently as possible in the community
• The satisfaction of doing things for yourself (or with less support)
• Increased confidence and self-esteem, knowing you can achieve your goals
• Improving your access to the community, which prevents isolation
• Better physical health and mental wellbeing, as you’re able to get out and about more
• Easing the load for family carers, as you are able to do more things for yourself
• Being able to do the things you enjoy and participate in your favourite hobbies
• Meeting the challenges of everyday life with a problem-solving attitude
• Positive encouragement and support from a dedicated support team
• Being able to access parts of the community that were previously out of reach
• Increasing your social circle and making new friends
• Trying new things and enjoying new experiences
• Being able to take care of your own needs yourself

HomeCaring provides individualised support for NDIS participants, tailored to the goals in your NDIS plan. We’ll listen, understand your goals, and match you with a qualified support worker, based on your needs, personality and circumstances. They will work with you, one-on-one, to support you with everyday activities, and help you do things on your own. We pride ourselves on caring about people, and seeking to build a genuine relationship with the clients we support. We also seek to build a caring, nurturing and positive atmosphere where people can be their best selves.

In some situations, we may provide daily living and life skill training in a group situation such as at a day centre, where you can benefit from working alongside other people. This can be a great opportunity to socialise, make new friends, have plenty of fun doing new things, and experience a different environment from home.

HomeCaring helps children, teenagers and young adults develop important daily living and life skills – appropriate to their situation and stage of life. We can provide NDIS-funded services through the Improved Daily Living category of your child’s NDIS plan. Whether it’s doing chores around the home, travel training, motor skills, agility skills for a team sport, budgeting skills, working with others, making decisions, meal planning or skills for communication, we help young people develop the skills they need to lead a confident, happy life.
