Enable Life’s Daily Living Life Skills program focuses on everyday tasks you want to feel more confident doing. That might mean planning a routine, managing day-to-day spending, connecting with other people or learning to use public transport.
Start with what matters to you and what you can already do. The aim is to build on those skills through practical support that reflects your goals, preferences and pace.
At Enable Life, we proudly offer Development of Daily Living Life Skills and Community Participation Support in Bacchus Marsh, helping you gain control of your life, build connections, and achieve your aspirations.
Daily living skills support focuses on learning and practising everyday tasks. Community participation focuses on taking part in social, recreational and community activities. The two can complement each other: learning to plan a journey is a skill-building goal, while attending a local group is a community participation activity. Ask about community participation support if getting involved in activities is your priority.
You do not need to work on every skill at once. Tell us what you want to practise, what you already manage and where assistance would be useful. We can discuss a starting point and how the support should take account of your routine and preferences.
Being involved in a task can mean different things for different people. The focus is on the steps you want to learn and the decisions you want to make, with progress discussed as your goals or needs change.
Choose an everyday task you want to practise and note which steps you already manage. Tell us what feels difficult, how you prefer to learn and what progress would mean to you. You can begin the conversation with one goal, you do not need a complete learning plan before contacting us.
Share a practical goal or an everyday task you would like help learning. Your interests, existing skills and the way you prefer to learn give us a starting point for discussing support together. Contact Enable Life or make a referral to start the conversation.
Our approach is designed to make support feel clear, respectful and dependable.
We take time to understand your routine, preferences and goals before support begins.
Where possible, we aim to provide familiar people who understand how you like things done.
You stay involved in decisions about your support and how it fits into everyday life.
We focus on dignity, privacy, safety and respectful communication in every interaction.
Tell us a little about what you are looking for. Our team can answer your questions and talk through the next step.

Life-skills support focuses on learning and practising the steps involved in a task. You can work on the parts you want to understand or do with more confidence, while discussing the assistance you need. The goal is guided by what matters to you and what you already manage.
Start with an everyday task you want to feel more confident doing. That could be planning spending, organising a routine, connecting with people or using public transport. Tell the team what you can already do and where you would like support so you can discuss a practical starting point.
No. Your discussion can begin with one priority. Share the pace and way of learning that suit you, and any routines or preferences that need to be considered. The skills you work on can be discussed again as your goals and needs change.
Start with a specific task and describe what you can already do. Discuss a practical goal, the steps you want to practise and how you would like progress reviewed. Progress may include completing a step with less assistance or feeling more confident.
Support should be discussed around your goals, preferences, routine and the type of assistance you are looking for.
Contact the Enable Life team and tell us what support you are looking for. We can discuss your circumstances and the next practical step.
Funding depends on your plan, goals, eligibility and the support being requested. Check your plan or speak with your plan manager or support coordinator before making arrangements.
