Development of Life Skills

Helping NDIS Participants Build Everyday Independence

Developing life skills is an important part of living with greater independence, confidence, and control. For many NDIS participants, the right support can make everyday tasks easier to understand, practise, and manage over time.


At Benity Care, we support the development of Life Skills in Melbourne for NDIS participants who want to build practical skills for daily living, social interaction, community access, and independent decision-making. Our support is designed around each participant’s goals, abilities, routine, and NDIS plan.


Whether you want to improve household skills, learn how to travel safely, manage daily routines, communicate better, or participate more actively in the community, Benity Care can support you step by step.

What is the Development of Life Skills?

Development of Life Skills is an NDIS support that helps participants build, improve, or maintain important daily living abilities. These skills may support participants at home, in the community, during social activities, or while working towards greater independence.


Benity Care’s Development Life Skills service includes practical support with areas such as cooking, cleaning, communication, decision-making, using public transport, and participating in social activities. Participants with NDIS funding under Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living may be eligible for this support.
