Help in the Community / Skill Building
Skill building
Building the skills that
change a life.
Capacity-building supports help NDIS participants develop the skills they need for greater independence — at home, in the community, in education and at work.
What Skill Building Is
Capacity beyond therapy.
Skill-building supports are about practical skills, not clinical therapy. Cooking a meal. Catching a bus. Managing money. Looking after the home. Holding down a job. Making and keeping friends.
The work is delivered by skilled support professionals — sometimes alongside or after allied health therapy — and the goal is always increasing independence in the things that matter to the participant.

How We Approach It
Practical, in real settings.
Skill building doesn't happen in a classroom. It happens in your kitchen, on the bus you actually need to catch, at the shops where you actually do your groceries. We design supports around the real environments and the real tasks you want to be able to do.
Progress is measured in fewer prompts, more independence, less support needed over time. That is the point.
Funding
Under the NDIS.
Skill-building supports are usually funded under Capacity Building — Improved Daily Living (where delivered by allied health professionals), Capacity Building — Increased Social and Community Participation (group-based capacity building), or Core Supports — Assistance with Daily Activities (skill-building embedded in daily support).
