Capacity Building vs Everyday Support
Many participants confuse Improved Daily Living Skills with supports that simply assist with everyday tasks.
Capacity Building supports are designed to help participants learn skills they can continue using independently, while ongoing daily assistance focuses on helping complete tasks when required.
Building capacity over time helps participants become more confident, improve decision-making and work towards greater independence.
Who Can Access Improved Daily Living Funding?
Improved Daily Living funding is available to NDIS participants whose plans include this Capacity Building support category. Eligibility is based on a participant’s individual goals, support needs, and whether the funding is considered reasonable and necessary to help achieve greater independence.
Funding is based on individual disability-related needs, participant goals and what is considered reasonable and necessary under the NDIS. Supports are tailored to build independence and may differ significantly between participants depending on their circumstances. Participants with complex health needs may also require detailed NDIS clinical assessments and supporting reports to ensure they receive appropriate funding and ongoing healthcare support.
Participants can work with their NDIS planner or Local Area Coordinator to identify supports that align with their goals and contribute to long-term capacity building. Choosing experienced providers can also help participants make the most of their funding through personalised, goal-focused support.
