Assist-Life Stage Transition is an NDIS capacity-building support (commonly under Assistance in coordinating or managing life stages, transitions and supports, NDIS Group 0106) that helps participants navigate major life changes with confidence, skills, and support. It provides tailored guidance so that transitions — such as moving out of home, completing school, starting work or study, or adapting to new responsibilities — are as smooth and successful as possible.
What It Is
Life stage transitions are the significant milestones and changes people encounter in life. For many NDIS participants, these changes can involve emotional, practical, and planning challenges — so this support helps build skills, confidence and resilience before, during and after key life transitions.
Who It Helps
This support is ideal for NDIS participants who are:
-
Moving from school or family home into independent living or shared accommodation
-
Starting or changing employment or training pathways
-
Beginning tertiary education or further study
-
Taking on new life responsibilities or routines
-
Preparing for changes in health, living arrangements, or support needs
