Build essential life skills and independence with our Improved Daily Living service
NDIS life skill development includes any skill that could improve your daily routines, confidence, and contribution to society. We know the importance of accessing various activities and therapies to develop your life skills. Our team can help you build your ability to live independently by learning everyday skills like using digital technology, meal planning and learning to cook food you enjoy, understanding how to catch public transport, and many, many more.
Trusted and reliable assistance in developing new skills
Our support workers will treat you with the care and respect you deserve and provide unwavering support throughout your entire NDIS journey. Think of us as your personal cheerleaders, or extended family members, ready to encourage, motivate and assist you throughout all possible challenges.

How its funded
Life Skills Development is funded under the Core Supports (Assistance with Daily Living) or Capacity Building (Improved Daily Living) sections of your NDIS plan.
Getting Started with Us is Simple
A 15-Minute Consult
This quick consultation will determine when and how we can help you. We will ask for basic details about you and your situation, along with any current NDIS details or plans you have so we can ensure we are the best people to support you.
Meet & Greet
Meeting you in person is super important to us as we want to ensure you feel safe and comfortable with your assigned support worker. As a smaller, close-knit team, you are always a top priority. No one gets left behind in the Your Kind Collective family.
Making an Action Plan
Once you have made a decision to work with us, we will map out a list of actions that we will go through to bring your plan to life. This helps us to keep on track and to prioritise tasks that need to be completed to connect you to the right supports.
Regular Check-Ins
Once you are fully connected, we will not disappear. We
will check in with you at regular intervals to make sure
you are still happy and that your needs are being met. As
your long-term support team, we are there with you throughout your entire NDIS journey. We perform regular
check-ins to ensure you’re feeling prepared, confident
and capable to face each day. We are always available to
answer any questions that may come up.
Frequently Asked Questions
About Support Coordination
What is Support Coordination?
Support Coordination is funded support provided on a case-by-case basis. This support means you will always have someone there to help you understand what your NDIS plan means (it can be a whole new language!), plan alongside you to find the supports that will best meet your needs, and connect you to those supports.
Once you have established your support network, a Support Coordinator will help you to maintain that network. Another vital role of a Support Coordinator is reporting back to the NDIA when the time comes for your NDIS plan to be reviewed. Above all else, a Support Coordinator is there for you and should always act in your best interests.
Is there a limit on how long I can be funded for Support Coordination?
Usually, Support Coordination funding will reduce over time. This is because a Support Coordinator should be assisting you in learning and building your capacity to navigate the NDIS independently. However, as long as you can demonstrate that you require assistance navigating your NDIS plan, Support Coordination should continue to be funded in your plan. If you feel you require Support Coordination funded in your plan, you can request it from the NDIA. Please contact us to learn more.
Is a Plan Manager the same thing as a Support Coordinator?
No. A Plan Manager is separate funded support and manages the payment of invoices from your other NDIS providers and tracks your plan expenses so that you can ensure your funding lasts for the duration of your NDIS plan.
