At Harmony House, we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to live independently and confidently. Our NDIS Life Skills Program is designed to help individuals with disabilities develop essential life skills that foster independence, enhance social interactions, and improve overall quality of life.

With personalised support and NDIS funding, participants can access tailored skill development programs across Melbourne, ensuring they receive the guidance they need to thrive.

Why Life Skills Development Matters

Our program is structured to align with NDIS goals, focusing on personalized support that meets the unique needs of each participant.
