Independent Living Support · Brisbane
Build practical skills for greater independence.
Develop everyday skills that support the life you want to lead – learning, practising and building confidence, connected to the things you want to work towards.
Support isn't someone doing things for you.
It's learning, practising and developing at your own pace – with skills that connect to what you want from life.

Skills people work on
A few common starting points. Everyday money skills means things like planning purchases – not NDIS plan management.
Cooking & meals
Plan meals you enjoy, follow recipes and cook from planning to plate.
Shopping & errands
Write a list, plan the trip and do your own grocery shopping.
Home & routines
Housekeeping, tidying and routines designed around how you work best.
Admin & appointments
Scheduling, appointments and basic everyday admin.
Everyday money skills
Planning purchases and budgeting for the things you want.
Your own goals
Working towards a driver's licence, moving out one day, or something else that matters to you.
How Valiant can support it
Support adjusts as your confidence grows.
- 1
Set the goal
Start with something that matters to you – a recipe you want to master, moving out one day, getting your licence.
- 2
Break it down
Turn larger goals into practical, achievable steps, so progress is clear and manageable.
- 3
Practise and build
Learn alongside your worker, then do more yourself over time.
Independence, built around your interests
Skills stick when they connect to something you care about – cooking for your gaming group, budgeting for a new set of miniatures, planning a trip to a convention.

Designed around how you work best.

Questions people ask
Will the worker just do my housework?
No. The focus is building skills and confidence, so you can do more yourself over time.
Is 'everyday money skills' the same as plan management?
No. It's about practical things like planning purchases and budgeting for things you want. It isn't NDIS plan management.
Can you help me work towards my driver's licence?
Support can help with steps along the way, like study routines, booking tests and building confidence. We'll talk about what's involved for you.
Can this be funded through the NDIS?
Independent living skill-building may align with daily living goals in an NDIS plan. We can talk it through when you get in touch.
What would you like to work towards?
