Daily Living and Life Skills

To be independent, it’s important to develop daily living skills that help you meet everyday challenges. Doing things for yourself helps you feel confident and in control, knowing you can tackle whatever the day throws at you.

Home Caring helps people with disability develop Daily Living and Life Skills for everyday life. As a NDIS provider, we’ll enable you to build your independence, so they can get what you want out of life.

Our experienced team will give you all the training and support you need to learn a wide range of important daily life activities. This includes:

Using public transport and planning a trip
Personal presentation, hygiene and taking care of yourself
Communicating, social skills and interpersonal skills
Looking after your home and keeping it clean
Preparing a tasty and healthy meal, and taking care of your nutrition
Doing your own laundry
Problem solving daily life challenges
Budgeting your money and financial management skills development
Taking your medication
Doing the grocery shopping and budgeting for what you need
Improving relationships with your family and friends
Following a routine for daily tasks
Planning and organising skills
Communicating with your NDIS service providers and managing funding of supports
Regulating your emotions when things become overwhelming
Improved Daily Living activities and support

We provide individualised support, helping you grow and develop according to your NDIS goals. Whether you’re being supported one-on-one or in a group setting, we make learning everyday life skills a fun and engaging experience for everyone involved. You’ll gain confidence for life, as you work towards your own personal development.

Our Approach

We also help NDIS participants take part in community life – whether that’s through doing everyday tasks together, learning how to access the services you need, helping you enjoy community activities you’re passionate about, or providing you with opportunities to make new friends and grow your support network.

Person-centred – we build our support around your personal skills development, so you can do life on your terms.

Depending on the support you require, your funding might fall under the Core Supports or Capacity Building categories.
