SLES Program – Life Skills & Pathways (12-Month Certification)

​

Introduction

At NDIThrive, we believe independence is built through real experiences. After the initial success of our Life Skills Wednesday program (still currently running), we have had unprecedented requests to run a full 12 month program for School Leavers, those seeking Independence through Skill Development and any NDIS participant wishing to broaden their knowledge of basic skills.

Our Life Skills & Pathways Program (SLES) is a structured 12-month program designed to support participants in developing practical, everyday skills that build confidence, capability, and independence.

​

This program is suitable for:

• School leavers transitioning into adulthood

• Young adults seeking greater independence

Important Placement Note

At NDIThrive, we prioritise appropriate placement to ensure participant success.

While many participants thrive in a group environment, others may require a more tailored, individualised program depending on their support needs.

NDIS Funding & Program Fees:

NDIThrive’s Life Skills & Pathways Program (SLES) is delivered under relevant NDIS Capacity Building supports.

Applicable NDIS Line Items may include:

• Improved Daily Living Skills (Capacity Building)

• Core Supports – Assistance with Social & Community Participation (depending on participant goals and plan structure)

We work closely with Support Coordinators and participants to ensure the most appropriate line item is utilised based on individual goals and funding.
