Transitioning to Adulthood with the NDIS: What Young People Need to Know

The move from adolescence to adulthood is a significant and transformative stage of life. For young people with disabilities, it also involves rethinking how support is provided and adapted to suit their new reality. Fortunately, the NDIS is equipped to accompany this transition with services that respect personal growth and promote independence.

The first step is reviewing the current NDIS plan to ensure it aligns with adult life goals such as study, employment, independent living, and community participation. Services like In Home Support and Community Access remain essential, now with a stronger emphasis on independence and social integration.

Sunshine Family Support offers specialised assistance for young people in this stage, helping them build routines, access services, and participate in the community in meaningful ways. Our team works closely with participants and their families to ensure a smooth transition and consistent support.

Being well-informed is key. Transitioning can be challenging, but with the right support, it can also be a journey of discovery and achievement.
