Request Support
What is Improved Daily Living in the NDIS?
Improved Daily Living is part of the NDIS Capacity Building supports. It focuses on building practical skills, independence, and confidence in everyday life. Depending on a participant’s goals, this may include routines and self-care skills, communication, budgeting strategies, travel confidence, and community participation. The aim is long-term capacity—so participants can do more for themselves over time with the right support.
What is Improved Daily Living Skills (Capacity Building) funding used for?
This funding is generally used for supports that build functional independence over time—through structured training and coaching aligned to your plan goals. It may include skills such as cooking, meal planning, personal organisation, budgeting, safe travel training, communication, and community participation. What’s appropriate depends on your NDIS goals and what’s reasonable and necessary for you.
What are examples of Improved Daily Living supports?
Examples include cooking simple meals, planning routines, practising personal care steps, home organisation, budgeting and money skills, grocery shopping, and travel training (bus/train/tram). It can also include communication and social skill-building—such as making appointments, asking for help, and joining community activities. Supports are tailored to what makes the biggest day-to-day difference.
What is “Development of Daily Living and Life Skills” in NDIS?
This support focuses on building everyday skills and independence through structured learning and practice—at home and in the community. It can include routines, cooking, budgeting, transport skills, communication, and safe community participation. The best outcomes happen when training is goal-led, consistent, and measured against real-life progress.
Is life skills training covered by NDIS Capacity Building?
Often yes—especially when the purpose is building independence over time. Coverage depends on your plan goals and whether the support is reasonable and necessary for your circumstances. If your plan includes Improved Daily Living, life skills training can be a strong fit because it targets practical outcomes like routines, daily tasks, and community access.
How do I know if my plan includes Improved Daily Living funding?
Check your NDIS plan budgets for Capacity Building supports—Improved Daily Living may be listed in your plan documents, or your support coordinator/plan manager can confirm it. If you’re self-managed, you may see supports aligned to Capacity Building goals. If you want, we can help you interpret plan wording and make sure supports align before services begin.
Can life skills training be delivered in-home and in the community?
Yes. Many participants learn best in real environments—your kitchen for cooking, local shops for budgeting practice, or the transport routes you actually use. Training can be delivered in-home, in the community, or a mix of both depending on goals and comfort level, with skills built safely over time.
How do we set goals and measure progress?
We set clear, practical goals and break them into steps. Progress is tracked using real outcomes—like preparing a meal with less prompting, managing a weekly routine, or using public transport with increased confidence. Regular progress reviews keep supports aligned to your NDIS goals and help adjust strategies as skills improve.
