Assist – Life Stage and Transitions
Support to navigate big life changes with confidence.
What is
Assist-Life Stage, Transition
Life Stage and Transitions is about helping you move through important changes in your life as smoothly as possible. These changes might be planned — like moving into your own place — or unexpected, like a change in health or support needs.
We provide guidance, planning and hands-on support so you don’t have to manage everything alone.
Ways we can support you
Every person’s journey is different, but we can support you with transitions such as:
Moving house or accommodation – planning the move, packing, organising utilities and settling into a new home
Leaving school – exploring options for training, work, day programs or further study
Starting work, volunteering or study – building routines, managing transport and balancing your week
Changes in support needs – adjusting your supports when your health, goals or living situation changes
Establishing new routines – setting up daily and weekly routines that work in your new situation
Linking with services – connecting you with community supports, therapists, employment services and other providers
Who Is This Service For?
This service is suitable for NDIS participants who are:
Moving out of the family home or into different accommodation
Leaving school and exploring what comes next
Starting or finishing work, volunteering or study
Experiencing changes in health or support needs
Feeling overwhelmed by paperwork, appointments or planning
Wanting help to set up new routines or supports that fit their current life
We’ll adapt the level of support to how much help you want with planning, decision-making and practical tasks.
How Our Life Stage & Transitions Support Works
We listen to your story and goals
We start by understanding what’s changing, how you’re feeling about it and what you’d like life to look like on the other side of the transition.We break things into manageable steps
Together we turn the transition into a clear plan — with tasks, timelines and who will do what.We support you to take action
We can help with phone calls, forms, appointments, viewing housing options, meeting services and setting up new supports.We help you settle into the change
Once the change happens (like the move or new routine), we stay involved to help you adjust and solve any early challenges.We review and refine
We check in after a period of time to see how things are going and what might need to be changed or improved.
