Develop Life Skills That Truly Support Independence

At Care AU, we provide tailored support to help individuals gain the confidence and practical ability to manage everyday life.

About Care AU

Care AU is an NDIS provider committed to helping people live with confidence, choice, and control. We’ve supported hundreds of people across different walks of life, helping them become more capable in the day-to-day. Our team is friendly, experienced, and understands that every person learns differently.

We offer dedicated, person-focused support across Geelong and Ballarat. With us, it’s not just about skills, it’s about support that respects who you are.

Why Life Skills Development Matters

When people learn how to do things on their own like cook a meal, pay a bill, or make a doctor’s appointment, it builds more than ability. It builds confidence. That’s what life skills development does. It creates space for growth, independence, and better decision-making.

Here’s why this support is important:

Better daily living
Tasks like cleaning, dressing, and preparing meals become easier.
Improved confidence
Doing things for yourself gives a real sense of pride.
More social connection
Learning how to communicate and manage emotions helps in relationships.
Stronger independence
Less reliance on others for basic tasks means more freedom and choice.
Preparation for work or study
Skills like time management and planning help open more doors.

How does Care AU stand out?

There are many services out there, but here’s what makes us different. We don’t use one-size-fits-all plans. We meet you where you are and grow from there.

Here’s what to expect from us:

Personalised learning

We tailor every session based on your needs, goals, and learning style.

Experienced team

Our support workers are trained, caring, and patient. They know how to explain things in ways that stick.

Flexible support

Sessions can be at home, out in the community, or wherever you’re comfortable.

Real-world focus

Whether you’re awaiting SIL placement, recovering from surgery, between homes, or building confidence after a life event, we help with consistency and care.
