Unregistered providers can still deliver many supports if your plan is plan managed or self managed.

What is life skills development training?
Life skills development is capacity-building support that helps a person learn practical daily tasks, cooking, budgeting, using public transport, personal care, through structured coaching rather than someone doing the task for them. It sits in the NDIS Improved Daily Living Skills support category, registration group 0117, Development of Daily Living and Life Skills (NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27).
How to choose a provider for this service
Start with registration. Providers delivering life skills training under NDIS-managed or agency-managed plans should be registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission under registration group 0117, confirmable on the Commission’s public provider register. Response time matters because slow first contact often signals a provider stretched too thin to give one-on-one coaching the attention it needs. Providers ranked using the criteria explained above are ordered partly on measured response speed, and 70 per cent of inquiries across Carevo get a reply within an hour. Ask for pricing broken down by hour and by group session, since rates differ and group programs can lower the per-session cost. Confirm the provider actually covers your suburb and runs in-community sessions, shops, transport routes, not just clinic-based coaching.
Which NDIS funding pays for life skills training?
Life skills training is funded through NDIS Capacity Building, most often the Improved Daily Living Skills category, line item 15_037_0117_1_3, Skill Development and Training including Public Transport Training, capped at 70.23 an hour on a weekday in metro areas (NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27). A person qualifies when their NDIS plan includes this budget line, tied to a stated goal such as cooking, money management or travel independence, and the NDIA has approved a Capacity Building support. Employment-focused skills, including School Leaver Employment Supports, are instead funded under Finding and Keeping a Job. A plan manager or support coordinator confirms which category and hours apply.
Availability across Australia
Carevo lists 28,004 NDIS providers across 4,782 suburbs nationally, including 8,844 in NSW alone. Life skills training pairs well with community access support for group-based practice, or with disability employment services once transport and money-management goals are in place. Response times by state are set out in the table above.
How this page is compiled
The provider rankings and figures on this page come from Carevo platform records, including provider registrations, measured response times and coverage, together with the cited official sources. Carevo is an Australian platform that connects families with vetted NDIS and aged care providers. Carevo does not deliver care itself.
