Development-Life Skills services under the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) aim to support individuals with disabilities in acquiring and enhancing essential life skills necessary for independent living, social inclusion, and participation in community life. These services are tailored to the individual’s needs, goals, and preferences, focusing on building competence and confidence in various areas of daily living.

NDIS-funded Development-Life Skills services may include support with personal care routines, such as grooming, hygiene, and dressing, as well as assistance with household tasks like meal preparation, cleaning, and budgeting. Additionally, these services may encompass skill development in areas such as communication, decision-making, problem-solving, time management, and social interactions.

The emphasis is on empowering individuals to develop the skills and confidence needed to navigate daily challenges, make informed choices, and participate actively in their communities. Support workers provide personalized guidance, encouragement, and practical assistance to help individuals achieve their goals and maximize their independence and well-being.
