What Daily Living and Life Skills Covers
The Daily Living and Life Skills registration group includes the following services. When referring, match the specific service type to the participant's plan goals and funded line items.
Independent Living Skills
Training in cooking, cleaning, laundry, budgeting, shopping, and other household management skills. The goal is building independence, not doing tasks for the participant.
Travel Training
Structured training to use public transport independently. Usually involves a graduated program from accompanied travel to monitored travel to fully independent travel.
Personal Development
Building self-advocacy skills, decision-making, problem-solving, and self-management. Particularly important for participants transitioning to more independent living.
Technology Skills
Learning to use smartphones, computers, assistive technology apps, online banking, and other digital tools that support independent living.
Common Referral Scenarios
Real-world situations where you would refer a participant for daily living and life skills in Parramatta.
A young participant is preparing to move out of the family home. Refer to a provider that offers a structured independent living skills program covering all aspects of household management, not just one or two skills.
A participant wants to use public transport to get to their day program independently. Refer to a provider with a specific travel training program that includes risk assessment, graduated training steps, and a clear endpoint.
A participant has difficulty managing their finances and regularly runs out of money before the end of the fortnight. Refer to a provider who can teach budgeting skills and set up practical systems (apps, visual budgets) the participant can maintain independently.
What to Expect After Referral
Capacity Building providers should set specific, measurable goals with clear timelines. Expect an initial assessment of current skill levels, a structured training plan, regular progress measurement, and a defined endpoint. This is not open-ended support. The NDIA expects to see skill improvement over time, so ensure the provider documents baseline and progress data you can use in plan reviews.
Red Flags to Watch For
Warning signs that a daily living and life skills provider may not be delivering quality services.
Provider doing tasks for the participant instead of teaching them
No baseline assessment or measurable goals
No evidence of skill progression over time
Open-ended engagement with no planned reduction in support
Provider unable to articulate their training methodology
No written progress reports suitable for plan reviews
How Daily Living and Life Skills Works with Other Supports
Daily Living Skills development works with Daily Personal Activities (gradually replacing hands-on support with training), Community Participation (applying life skills in real-world settings), and Employment (building job-readiness skills). When a participant is receiving both personal care and skills training, ensure different workers are not undermining each other by doing tasks the other is teaching.

Referral Tips for Daily Living and Life Skills
Life skills development should have clear, measurable goals tied to the participant's NDIS plan. When referring, ensure the provider documents baseline skills, sets time-bound targets, and provides progress evidence you can use in plan review reports. This is Capacity Building funding, so the NDIA expects to see capability improvement over time.
What to Check Before Making a Referral
Registration Status
Verify the provider holds the correct NDIS registration group for daily living and life skills. Check the NDIS provider register if uncertain.
Service Area
Confirm the provider services Parramatta and surrounding areas. Some providers listed here cover the broader Western Sydney region.
Availability and Waitlists
Ask about current waitlist times. For urgent referrals, check multiple providers simultaneously to find the fastest availability.
Cultural and Language Needs
Match the participant's cultural background and language preferences where possible. Ask providers about staff diversity and interpreter availability.
Cancellation Policy
Review the provider's short notice cancellation terms. Under the NDIS Price Guide, providers can charge up to 100% for cancellations within 2 business days.
Reporting and Communication
Agree on how the provider will report progress to you. Regular updates make your own progress reports and plan review preparation much easier.
