Frequently Asked Questions

Can't find what you're looking for? We're happy to help directly.

Daily living assistance means we do tasks FOR you (cleaning, cooking). Life skills coaching means we teach you HOW to do tasks yourself, building independence. Coaching is capacity building, assistance is ongoing support.

It depends on the skill and your current abilities. Simple skills like online banking might take a few sessions. Complex skills like budgeting or transport training might take weeks or months. We work at your pace.

Absolutely. We start with your NDIS goals and personal priorities. You decide which skills matter most to your independence - we design the coaching plan around your choices.

Typically yes. Life skills coaching is funded through Capacity Building - Improved Daily Living in NDIS plans. If you are self-managed, you have flexibility to allocate funds. Check with your planner or plan manager, or contact us to discuss TAC and private funding options.

Wherever the skill is needed! Cooking coaching happens in your kitchen. Shopping skills are practiced at the supermarket. Transport training happens on buses and trains. We teach in real-world settings.
