What capacity building and life skills involves
Capacity building is personalised support to build practical life skills, confidence and independence: cooking your own meals, catching public transport alone, budgeting, shopping, using technology, preparing for work, or getting ready for Supported Independent Living.
We work at your pace, in your own home and community: learn, practise, build confidence, then do more independently. It's funded from the Capacity Building budget in your plan, which the NDIA sets.
What's included
- Cooking and meal planning
- Travel skills and public transport
- Shopping and budgeting
- Work and study readiness
- Everyday technology
- Preparing for SIL
Capacity building and life skills around Rooty Hill
Rooty Hill is a suburb about 42 km west of the Sydney CBD in the City of Blacktown, part of Greater Western Sydney. It is home to the Blacktown International Sportspark and neighbours Mount Druitt, Doonside, Plumpton and Minchinbury.
Skills are easiest to learn where you'll use them, so capacity building in Rooty Hill happens in your own home and around your own suburb.
For travel goals, that can mean practising the trip from Rooty Hill station (T1 North Shore & Western Line) together until it's just something you do.
If you're working out which goals to put in your plan, the Local Area Coordination partner for Blacktown City Council can help — see the local NDIS offices below.

Capacity building and life skills in Rooty Hill: common questions
Can you help me learn to catch the train from Rooty Hill?
Yes. Travel training usually means doing the same trip together — from Rooty Hill to somewhere you go regularly — until you're confident doing it alone.
Do you provide capacity building support in Rooty Hill?
Yes. We support people in Rooty Hill 2766 and nearby suburbs such as Mount Druitt, Minchinbury and Plumpton. Which worker can help, and when, depends on the days and times you need, so tell us your suburb and routine when you enquire and we'll confirm what we can arrange.
How is capacity building different from daily living support?
Daily living support helps with tasks as they happen. Capacity building helps you learn to do them yourself, so the help you need changes over time.
Does it need to be in my plan?
Yes — it's funded from the Capacity Building budget. If a skill you want to build isn't in your plan, raise it at your plan review.
