Our approach: we teach, not just do
Many supports in this category focus on doing things with or for you. We focus on building your skills so you can do more yourself over time. Every session is one-to-one and built around clear, step-by-step goals, and we review progress with you regularly.
- Sessions weekly or fortnightly, from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours
- At home or out in the community, wherever learning works best
- Working alongside your family, support workers and allied health professionals
- Delivered in line with the NDIS Practice Standards and Pricing Arrangements
What we can help with
- Personal Care and Life Skills: hygiene and grooming routines, cooking and meal planning, and household tasks.
- Travel and Transport Training: using public transport, planning routes and travelling safely and confidently.
- Community Participation: finding and joining groups, activities and causes that match your interests.
- Social Skills Training: starting conversations, building friendships and managing social anxiety.
- Relationship Management: positive communication, resolving conflict and understanding social cues.
- Confidence and Independence Building: decision-making, problem-solving and self-advocacy.
Using your Core budget
Core budgets are flexible, so most participants can use them for our services. We work with agency-managed, plan-managed and self-managed participants. Not sure what your plan covers? Contact us and we’ll check with you.
Already have a support coordinator?
That’s fine. We work with any support coordinator. If you also use our support coordination, you are always free to choose a different provider for your Core Supports. See our Conflict of Interest statement.
