Frequently Asked Questions
How early should I start planning for a life stage transition under the NDIS?
Ideally, you should begin planning as soon as you anticipate a major life change. Early planning allows time to build the right supports and skills before the transition begins.
Can life stage transition support include emotional preparation for change?
Yes, emotional readiness is a key part of our service. We help participants build resilience, confidence, and coping strategies to handle transitions calmly and positively.
Does this support only apply to big life events like moving houses or changing jobs?
Not at all. Even smaller changes – such as adjusting to new routines or meeting new people – are supported, as they can significantly affect your daily life and wellbeing.
Can I access transition assistance if I’m already living independently but need to adjust to new circumstances?
Absolutely. Life stage transition support is for anyone navigating change, whether it’s learning new skills, facing health challenges, or adapting to a new environment.
How is life stage transition assistance different from general support coordination?
While support coordination helps manage your plan, life stage transition assistance focuses specifically on helping you adjust, learn, and grow during major life changes.
Can transition support help me move from school to employment?
Yes. We assist with career guidance, workplace readiness, skill training, and community connections to make your shift from school to work a confident one.
Is it possible to receive support when transitioning from one NDIS plan to another?
Yes, we can guide you through re-assessments, goal reviews, and changes in your plan to ensure continuity of your support and progress.
Can life stage transition assistance help me reconnect with the community after a long break?
Definitely. We can support you in finding social groups, volunteering options, or community events that align with your interests and comfort level.
Do you work with families and carers during the transition process?
Yes, collaboration is central to our approach. We involve families and carers to create a support network that makes transitions more stable and reassuring.
How personalised is the support plan for life transitions?
Every plan is completely customised – tailored to your goals, skills, and the pace that feels right for you. No two transition plans are ever the same.
Can I choose to focus only on one area, like financial skills or social participation?
Yes. You have full control to prioritise areas that matter most, whether that’s budgeting, communication, or confidence-building.
Can transition assistance include finding and setting up new accommodation?
It can. We can help with housing exploration, tenancy applications, and practical moving support so that you settle comfortably into your new home.
Do you help participants who are transitioning from hospital or rehabilitation back to community living?
Yes, our team supports recovery-based transitions – coordinating health services, arranging in-home support, and rebuilding independence.
What happens if my transition takes longer than expected?
That’s completely fine. We adjust the timeline and continue working with you until you feel confident and settled in your new stage of life.
Can transition assistance be used for preparing for ageing-related changes?
Yes, we provide support for participants planning retirement, managing changing health needs, or adjusting to reduced physical abilities.
Are there group programs for people going through similar transitions?
Yes, we occasionally organise peer and skill-building groups where participants can share experiences and learn from one another.
How can I tell if I need transition support or a different NDIS service?
If you’re facing a new situation that feels overwhelming, uncertain, or requires new skills – transition assistance is likely the right support.
Is transition assistance time-limited under the NDIS?
It depends on your goals and plan. Some participants receive short-term support for a few months, while others benefit from ongoing guidance over a longer period.
What’s the most common challenge participants face during life transitions?
Often, it’s the fear of losing routine and stability. Our role is to replace that uncertainty with structure, encouragement, and practical steps forward.
