ASSIST-LIFE STAGE TRANSITION
(NDIS-0106) SERVICES
What is NDIS Registration Group 0106 - Assist-Life Stage, Transition?
Under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), Registration Group 0106 – Assist-Life Stage, Transition refers to a specialised category of supports designed to help participants successfully navigate significant changes in their lives. These supports focus on building a person’s capacity, confidence and practical skills so they can manage important transitions with greater independence and stability.
Life transitions can be exciting, but they can also be complex and overwhelming, particularly for people living with disability. Whether someone is leaving school, entering employment, moving out of the family home, adjusting to a new living arrangement, or experiencing a major personal change, structured and coordinated support can make all the difference. Transition is about helping participants move from one stage of life to the next with clarity, confidence and the right supports in place. It bridges gaps, reduces uncertainty and builds the practical and emotional capacity needed to achieve meaningful, long-term outcomes.
Registration Group 0106 exists to provide that structured support and providers must meet specific quality and compliance requirements under the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. This ensures that participants receiving Assist-Life Stage, Transition supports are working with organisations that adhere to nationally recognised standards of safety, governance and professional practice.
This registration group sits within the Capacity Building supports framework of the NDIS. That means the primary goal is not simply to provide assistance in the moment, but to strengthen a participant’s long-term ability to plan, problem-solve, make informed decisions and manage their own supports over time. The emphasis is on empowerment, skill development and sustainable independence.
Supports delivered under Assist-Life Stage, Transition may include:
-
Assistance in understanding and implementing an NDIS plan;
-
Support with goal setting and future planning;
-
Coordination of services and connection to community supports;
-
Skill development for independent living, budgeting and daily organisation;
-
Mentoring and structured guidance during key life milestones; and
-
Support during changes in education, employment, housing or personal circumstances
Importantly, these supports are individualised. Every participant’s transition looks different, and the services provided under this registration group are tailored to align with the participant’s goals, strengths and circumstances. If you are exploring this support category, understanding how it aligns with your goals is the first step toward making your next life transition a successful one.
