Capacity building supports are vital for maintaining independence and skill development alongside Core Supports, which assist with daily living tasks. To illustrate, a Core Support might involve meal preparation and delivery, while Capacity Building support empowers individuals with the knowledge and skills to cook nutritionally-balanced meals themselves. These supports are categorised into nine areas, with funding based on NDIS plan goals rather than automatic allocation. For instance, if a goal is increased community engagement, Capacity Building support may include learning behaviour management skills or having a support worker accompany individuals to social activities until they feel confident to attend independently. These nine subcategories encompass Coordination of Supports, Improved Living Arrangements, Increased Social and Community Participation, Finding and Keeping a Job, Improved Relationships, Improved Health and Wellbeing, Improved Daily Living, Improved Life Choices, and Improved Learning.

Within the wide range of NDIS services, some commonly sought-after options cater to a broad spectrum of participant needs. These services contribute to a comprehensive support framework, enabling individuals with disabilities to lead fulfilling lives and actively engage in their communities.
