Our Approach
The Life Skills and Independence Program: structured NDIS support in Melbourne
An optional six-stage framework for those who enjoy working towards clear goals. With personalised milestones and regular reviews, it provides a practical roadmap for building skills, confidence and greater independence.
Why It Works
Why a structured approach can make a difference
Having a clear plan makes it easier to turn goals into everyday progress. By breaking larger goals into achievable milestones and reviewing them regularly, everyone involved has a shared understanding of what’s being worked towards.
Our framework provides structure while remaining flexible. Goals can change, priorities can evolve, and support continues to reflect the person’s interests, strengths and aspirations.
The result is meaningful progress that can be seen in everyday life—greater confidence, practical skills and increased independence.
Every 6 weeks
Regular reviews to celebrate progress, adjust goals and keep everyone on the same page.

100% personalised

Step by Step
What to expect
Six simple stages designed to turn goals into meaningful progress.
Getting to Know You
Every journey starts with a conversation. We’ll get to know you, your interests, strengths, routines and goals so we can understand what matters most and how we can best support you.
Discovering Your Goals
Next, we complete our Goal Discovery Questionnaire together. It explores different areas of your life—from everyday living and relationships to health, employment and future aspirations—helping us understand where you are now and where you’d like to be.
Creating Your Plan
We’ll turn your goals into clear, achievable steps. Together, we’ll create a personalised plan that provides direction while remaining flexible as your needs and priorities change.
Putting the Plan into Action
Once your goals are set, we develop a personalised action plan. This outlines how your support sessions will help you work towards your goals, with practical strategies tailored to your interests and strengths.
Reviewing Progress
Every six weeks we’ll reflect on what’s working, celebrate achievements and identify any new opportunities or challenges. Your feedback is an important part of this conversation.
Looking Ahead
Goals change as people grow. We’ll update your plan, celebrate how far you’ve come and decide together what the next stage of your journey looks like.
