What is Improved Daily Living?

In plain English

A capacity building budget that funds therapy and training to build the skills you need for everyday life.

Improved Daily Living is one of the capacity building categories and is where most therapy sits, including occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech pathology and psychology, along with assessments and training. Because it is capacity building, the funding is generally tied to the outcomes in your plan rather than being fully flexible. It is often the busiest part of a plan, so lining up providers early helps.
