Capacity Building NDIS
Being able to live independently and do things for yourself is largely reliant on having particular skills under your belt. That’s why the NDIS offers funding to help people with a disability develop certain life skills, like cooking, cleaning and finding a job. Capacity Building NDIS is about learning how to seize the day on your own, and Care Assure is here to help make it happen.
What is Capacity Building NDIS?
NDIS funding is split into three main categories, Capacity Building, NDIS Core Supports and Capital Supports. Capacity Building NDIS includes a range of supports that help you build your independence, develop life skills and encourage you to participate more fully in your local community.
