In Australia, NewAura Disability Services is dedicated to providing comprehensive, personalized support to help clients develop these crucial skills. Our programs are tailored to meet the unique needs and aspirations of each individual, with a focus on empowering them to participate fully in their communities and live more autonomous and fulfilling lives.

At NewAura, we understand that every person has their own set of goals, strengths, and challenges. Our team works collaboratively with clients and their families to create individualized plans that emphasize skill development in key areas, including personal care, household management, social interactions, financial management, and community engagement. By applying evidence-based practices, particularly Positive Behavior Support (PBS), we ensure our services are both effective and supportive.

Personal Care and Hygiene: Personal care is foundational to an individual’s health and well-being. We assist clients in developing routines that promote good hygiene and self-care. This includes tasks such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and oral hygiene. By fostering confidence and teaching practical strategies, we help clients feel more comfortable managing their personal needs independently.

Household Management and Maintenance: Daily living skills also include the ability to run and maintain a household. Our programs cover essential tasks such as meal planning and preparation, grocery shopping, laundry, cleaning, and organizing living spaces. We teach clients how to prepare nutritious meals, manage food safety, and handle household chores efficiently. These skills not only promote independence but also enhance one’s sense of accomplishment and control over their environment.

Budgeting and Financial Management: Being able to manage finances is a key life skill that contributes to overall independence. We guide clients through budgeting basics, such as tracking income and expenses, paying bills on time, and making informed financial decisions. Learning to manage money responsibly empowers individuals to plan for their future, avoid financial stress, and enjoy a greater sense of security.

Time Management and Organization: Our programs emphasize effective time management techniques, goal setting, and task prioritization. Clients learn to organize their schedules, break down complex tasks into manageable steps, and use tools like calendars and reminders. These skills help individuals manage daily responsibilities, reduce stress, and make the most of their time.

Social and Communication Skills: Developing strong social and communication skills is crucial for building relationships and participating in community life. We focus on teaching both verbal and non-verbal communication techniques, active listening, and appropriate social interactions. Our programs also cover conflict resolution and assertiveness training, enabling clients to express themselves confidently and engage positively with others.

Community Participation and Safety Awareness: Being active in the community is an essential aspect of life skills development. We encourage and support clients to engage in social, recreational, and educational activities, helping them to build connections and foster a sense of belonging. We also provide safety training, ensuring that individuals are aware of potential hazards and know how to protect themselves in different situations, whether at home or in the community.

Capacity Building: Ultimately, our goal is to build each individual’s capacity to live as independently as possible. We work on enhancing problem-solving skills, decision-making abilities, and resilience, enabling clients to adapt to new challenges confidently. By focusing on long-term outcomes, we help individuals achieve their aspirations and take ownership of their personal development journey.
