Life Skills
Training OT
Build practical skills for independence and community participation.
Our Occupational Therapists in Melbourne and Sydney provide targeted life skills training to help participants build the abilities needed for independent daily living, confidence, and participation. Training focuses on practical skills such as cooking, personal care, time management, household tasks, and community engagement.
We deliver tailored, goal-focused sessions for NDIS participants, Home Care Package (HCP) participants, and private-paying participants, empowering participants to develop the skillset required to live independently, safely, and confidently.
