The Lowdown on NDIS Life Stage Transition Support
The Lowdown on NDIS Life Stage Transition Support
Life is full of changes — starting school, moving out of home, beginning work, or adjusting to new routines as we get older. For people with disability, these transitions can bring extra challenges that require the right support to navigate successfully.
That’s why the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) funds Life Stage Transition supports. These services are designed to guide participants through key changes in life, ensuring they feel confident, supported, and ready for what’s next.
What is Life Stage Transition Support?
Life Stage Transition is an NDIS-funded Capacity Building support that helps participants manage major life changes.
It includes both short-term and long-term supports to build independence, develop skills, and make transitions smoother.
The goal is simple: to ensure participants can adapt to new life stages with the right tools, supports, and planning in place.
When Do You Need Life Stage Transition Support?
Life Stage Transition supports can be useful at many points in life. Examples include:
Starting school or moving to a new education setting
Leaving school and preparing for employment or further study
Moving out of home or into supported living
Starting or changing jobs
Adjusting to new support needs due to health or disability changes
Age-related transitions, such as preparing for retirement
These are times of change where guidance, skill-building, and planning make a big difference.
What Does Life Stage Transition Support Include?
This support category covers a broad range of services, depending on your goals.
Examples of Supports May Include:
Individual support to build problem-solving, decision-making, and daily life skills
Group programs to develop social connections and confidence
Support coordination to connect with new providers or services
Skill development such as money management, communication, or employment readiness
Mentoring and peer support during times of change
Help with planning major life decisions or next steps
Why Life Stage Transition Support Matters
Change can be exciting, but it can also be overwhelming. Without the right support, participants and families may struggle to adjust.
Key Benefits Include:
Confidence – knowing you have guidance during major changes
Independence – learning the skills needed to handle new challenges
Reduced stress – for both participants and their families
Better outcomes – achieving smoother transitions in education, work, living, and community life
How Life Stage Transition is Funded
Life Stage Transition is funded under the Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living or Capacity Building – Support Coordination budgets in your NDIS plan.
Your eligibility and level of funding will depend on:
Your personal goals
The transitions you are preparing for
The evidence provided at your planning meeting
Supports are tailored, meaning they can be as short-term or ongoing as you need.
