Lifelong Learning

Life Skills & Independence

Learning does not stop at school

The NDIS recognises that learning does not end when formal schooling finishes. For people with a disability, opportunities to keep learning and developing new interests can be harder to access. Courses might not be accessible. Support to attend might not be available.

Aamoon Care supports participants to engage in lifelong learning opportunities that suit their interests, abilities, and goals. This is about having the support to pursue learning when you want it, in whatever form works for you.

What lifelong learning looks like

It might include enrolling in a TAFE course, attending workshops, learning a new hobby, participating in online learning, joining community groups, developing literacy and numeracy, learning technology, attending lectures, or pursuing any structured or informal learning that builds knowledge and confidence.

How we support lifelong learning

Our role is to make learning accessible. We can provide a support worker to attend with you, help you research and enrol, provide transport, assist with participation, help manage coursework, and support communication with educators.

We look beyond traditional education. Community workshops, art classes, music groups, gardening clubs, tech literacy programs, and other informal learning environments can be just as valuable as formal study.

NDIS funding

Lifelong learning support is typically funded under Capacity Building. The NDIS funds the support you need to access learning, not the course fees themselves. Course fees are generally your responsibility, though many government funded courses are free or subsidised.
