Why we don't list prices

Every NDIS plan is different. Goals, support ratios (1:1 vs group), session length, time of day and worker qualifications all change what's claimed against your plan.

Rather than a one-size-fits-all price list, we'll review your plan and goals with you and provide a transparent quote — written, itemised, and easy to compare.

Skill Development FAQs

NDIS life skills may be funded through Capacity Building supports when they are included in your plan. Depending on your goals and the support required, relevant categories can include Increased Social and Community Participation, Improved Daily Living, or Finding and Keeping a Job. Capacity Building categories are stated, so funding cannot simply be moved between them. Check your plan or speak with your my NDIS contact, support coordinator or plan manager if you are unsure.

There is no fixed timeframe. It depends on the skill you are developing, your starting point, how often you practise and the level of support you need. Larger goals can be broken into smaller steps and progress reviewed over time.

Yes, where you want them involved, and it is appropriate to your support. A family member or carer can help reinforce strategies between sessions. If separately funded training for a carer or parent is required, it needs to fit the NDIS supports available in your plan. The current NDIS Pricing Schedule includes a Training for Carers/Parents support item.

Where practical, training can happen in the setting where you will use the skill — for example, meal preparation at home or public transport skills in the community. The location and format depend on your goals, safety, support needs and local service availability. The current NDIS Pricing Schedule specifically includes skill development and public transport training support items.

We can review the goal, break the skill into smaller steps, change the approach or adjust where and how you practise. Progress is individual, so the focus remains on useful, achievable development rather than a fixed timeline.
