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 Smithfield
Smithfield is a suburb about 31 km west of the Sydney CBD, split between Fairfield City Council and Cumberland City Council. It combines residential, industrial, recreational and commercial land, includes part of the Smithfield-Wetherill Park Industrial Estate, and lies along Prospect Creek.
Skills are easiest to learn where you'll use them, so capacity building in Smithfield happens in your own home and around your own suburb.
Smithfield has no railway station, so travel goals often start with a local bus route or a walk to the shops, practised together until it feels routine.
If you're working out which goals to put in your plan, the Local Area Coordination partner for Fairfield City Council can help — see the local NDIS offices below.

Capacity building and life skills in Smithfield: common questions
Can you help me learn to get around Smithfield on my own?
Yes. Travel training usually means doing the same local trip together — a bus route or a walk to the shops — until you're confident doing it alone.
Do you provide capacity building support in Smithfield?
Yes. We support people in Smithfield 2164 and nearby suburbs such as Fairfield and Cabramatta. 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.
