Building Independence for a Better Life
At Auswide Care, we believe that independence looks different for everyone. For some, it’s cooking a healthy meal; for others, it’s managing a weekly budget or catching a bus alone. Our Life Skills Development service is all about equipping you with the tools you need to navigate the world with confidence.
Funded under the NDIS Improved Daily Living category, our programs move beyond basic care. We focus on teaching and mentoring. Our goal is not to do things for you, but to teach you how to do them yourself.
If you are looking for life skills development NDIS support in the Gold Coast and Brisbane, our patient and experienced mentors are here to guide you. We take the time to understand your personal goals and create a learning plan that is practical, fun, and effective.

FAQs about NDIS Life Skills
What skills can I learn with NDIS funding?
You can learn almost any skill that relates to your disability and helps you live more independently. Common examples include cooking, cleaning, budgeting, using public transport, and social skills.
Can I learn to drive with this funding?
In some cases, yes. If your disability makes learning to drive more difficult than it would be for others, the NDIS may fund specialised driving lessons. However, they usually do not pay for the license fees or the car itself.
Is this different from Core Supports?
Yes. Core Supports are for assistance (someone doing it for you). Improved Daily Living is for capacity building (someone teaching you how to do it yourself).
Do you offer group sessions?
Yes, we offer both 1-on-1 mentoring and group workshops. Group sessions are a great way to learn social skills and make friends while learning.
Can this help me move into SIL?
Absolutely. Many participants use Life Skills training to prepare for moving out of home and into Supported Independent Living (SIL) Gold Coast. We teach the household tasks needed to live with housemates.
