Preparing for Independent Living
The situation
A young adult with an intellectual disability wanted to move out of the family home but lacked essential life skills. We developed a comprehensive 12-month program covering cooking, cleaning, budgeting, and social skills.
The outcome
The client successfully moved into supported independent living and now manages most daily tasks independently. They have maintained their accommodation for over a year and continue to develop new skills.
Employment Readiness Skills
The situation
A client wanted to find employment but needed to develop workplace-related skills including time management, communication, and problem-solving. We created a targeted program focusing on employment readiness.
The outcome
The client developed strong workplace skills and successfully obtained part-time employment. They continue to use the skills learned and have received positive feedback from their employer.

Daniel S., NDIS Participant “Learning life skills with Helix Care has been amazing. The support workers are patient and encouraging, and they break everything down into steps I can understand. I've learned so much about taking care of myself.”
