Building Everyday Skills for Independent Living

Focus Community Care provides Development of Life Skills support to help NDIS participants build the skills needed to live more independently and confidently. These supports focus on everyday activities that improve autonomy, decision-making and overall quality of life.

Our approach is practical, supportive, and tailored to individual goals, abilities and daily routines.

What Is Development of Life Skills?

Development of Life Skills focuses on training and support that helps participants manage daily life more effectively. These skills support positive behaviour, problem-solving, and independence when facing everyday challenges.

We work closely with participants, families, and carers to develop skills that support long-term independence and confidence.

Individual and Group Skill Training

We provide life skills training through one-on-one support or group-based activities. Training is designed to build confidence and practical ability while encouraging independence.

Skills may include:

Daily living routines
Social and communication skills
Problem-solving and decision-making
Managing schedules and responsibilities

What We Can Support You With

Personal hygiene and self-care routines
Dressing, toileting, and daily personal care

Supports are delivered according to your NDIS plan and personal goals.

Building Confidence and Independence

Our focus is not just on learning skills, but on helping participants feel confident using them in daily life. We support gradual learning, repetition, and positive reinforcement to help participants feel capable and empowered.

If you have a specific skill or goal you want to work towards, our team will support you every step of the way.

Financial, Literacy and Numeracy Skills

We also support participants to develop basic financial and practical skills, including:

Managing a bank account
Creating and following a budget
Understanding everyday financial tasks
Improving literacy and numeracy for daily living

These skills support greater independence and confidence.

Support for Families and Carers

We understand that parents and carers play a key role in daily life. Focus Community Care works alongside families and carers to provide guidance, strategies, and training to support daily routines and long-term planning.

This may include support during life transitions, education changes, or moving toward independent or shared living.
