CAPACITY BUILDING
Build Skills. Gain Confidence. Move Forward.
Capacity Building is about more than support — it’s about helping you grow with the right skills, confidence, and guidance to live more independently and take control of your future.
What is Capacity Building Support?
Capacity Building Support focuses on helping you develop skills, improve decision-making, and become more independent over time. Through services like life skills development, community participation, and employment support, you’re supported to work towards your personal goals in a practical, meaningful way. Unlike Core Supports that assist with daily tasks, this is about long-term progress; helping you rely less on support and do more for yourself. At Good Doers, our approach is hands-on, personalised, and delivered by experienced professionals who genuinely care about helping you move forward with confidence.
1. Support to Daily Life (Improved Daily Living)
These supports help you develop the skills you need to live more independently at home and in the community. This may include:
• Developing personal care and self-management routines.
• Building household management and cooking skills.
• Financial literacy and budgeting support.
• Planning and organisation skills development.
• Assistive technology training and support.
2. Support for Social & Community Participation
We support you to build the skills and confidence needed to participate actively in community and social activities, including:
• Social skills development and community connections programs.
• Joining community groups, clubs, and activities.
• Building friendships and support networks.
• Developing communication and interpersonal skills.
3. Finding and Keeping a Job (Employment Support)
Employment is a powerful pathway to independence and self-worth. Our employment capacity-building supports include:
• Resume writing and job application support
• Interview preparation and workplace readiness coaching
• Support to access Disability Employment Services (DES)
• On-the-job support and workplace skill development
• Self-employment exploration and business planning assistance

• Access exercise physiology, fitness programs, and healthy lifestyle coaching.
• Develop healthy eating habits and nutrition awareness.

• Build stress management and emotional regulation skills.
5. Improved Learning
Education opens doors. Our Improved Learning supports help participants to:
• Access mainstream education and training opportunities.
• Develop literacy and numeracy skills.
• Prepare for further study, TAFE, or university.
• Access online learning and digital skills training.
6. Increased Social and Economic Participation
We help participants take steps toward greater social inclusion, economic contribution, and community belonging, supporting them to achieve goals that make a meaningful difference in their lives.
Who Benefits from Capacity Building Supports?
Capacity Building supports are suitable for NDIS participants at all stages of their journey — whether you are just starting out or ready to take your independence to the next level. If you have goals around employment, education, social participation, or independent living, Capacity Building supports can help you get there.
How Capacity Building Works at Good Doers
Every Capacity Building support plan we develop starts with a deep understanding of your goals. We work closely with you (and your carers, family, or Support Coordinator where relevant) to:
- Identify the skills and areas you would most like to develop
- Set clear, achievable short-term and long-term goals
- Develop an action plan with regular milestones and reviews
- Connect you with the right professionals and programs
- Track and celebrate your progress along the way
