What are Capacity Building Supports in your NDIS Plan?
Capacity Building Supports are designed to help you become more independent, confident, and capable in everyday life. These supports aim to build your long-term skills so you can achieve your goals — whether that’s joining a social group, finding a job, living on your own, or managing your health better.
It’s one of the key areas in your NDIS plan and includes 10 different support categories — each focusing on different parts of your life where growth and development can happen.
At Goodwill Nursing Care, we provide tailored support across many of these categories to help you reach your goals and live the life you choose.
