Life Skills FAQ
How is life skills support different from personal care?
Personal care involves a support worker doing tasks with or for you. Life skills support involves teaching and coaching you to do tasks yourself over time, building your independence.
Is life skills support in my NDIS plan?
Check your plan for Capacity Building — Daily Activities (Support Category 8). If it is included you can use it for life skills support with Flexa Care.
How long does it take to build life skills?
This varies by participant and goal. Life skills support is typically ongoing with regular review of progress against your NDIS goals.
Can life skills support take place in the community?
Yes. Much life skills support takes place in real-world community settings — supermarkets, public transport, cafes and other locations.
