LIFE SKILLS
Learn, grow, and enjoy more independence every day
Our life skills support helps people build everyday confidence, from cooking and budgeting to communication, travel, and social connection. We focus on learning through real experiences, not just instruction. Alongside one-on-one support, our group activities and day programs offer fun, practical ways to develop skills and friendships at the same time. Each session is guided by patient, experienced staff who adapt to your pace and goals, helping you achieve independence in ways that feel natural.
LEARNING THROUGH EXPERIENCE
Everyday skills, taught in real settings
EIH Care runs group activities and day programs across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide — where learning happens through shared experiences like cooking, gardening, art, and community outings. We also offer one-on-one life skills training at home or in the community. Call us on 1300 820 610 to discuss how our programs can help you or your loved one build independence with confidence.
YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Understanding life skills programs
Here’s how our life skills and activity programs support learning, connection, and everyday independence.
What kinds of life skills can I learn?
We help with cooking, grocery shopping, budgeting, cleaning, time management, travel training, and communication. You can also build social and teamwork skills through our group programs.
Do you run structured programs or casual sessions?
Both. Some people join regular day programs, while others prefer one-on-one support focused on specific goals. We’ll design a plan that fits your needs and pace.
Where does life skills support take place?
Our programs take place wherever life happens — at home, in the community, or during our own group activities. We see every environment as a chance to learn, whether it’s cooking in the kitchen, catching public transport, or joining a local workshop or outing.
Are group activities open to everyone?
Yes. Our individual support and programs welcome people of all abilities. We’ll help you find the right mix of social, creative, and skill-based activities to match your interests and goals.
Is life skills training covered by the NDIS?
Yes. Life skills development is funded under Capacity Building Supports. We can help confirm your eligibility and organise support that fits your NDIS plan.
