At UNITE Canberra Care, we believe that true, lasting change starts from within the community. Our Capacity Building Support program is designed to empower individuals—particularly those living with disabilities—to develop the skills, confidence, and independence needed to lead fulfilling lives.
What is Capacity Building?
Capacity Building is more than just support—it's about unlocking potential. It refers to the process of helping individuals gain access to resources, training, and services that enhance their ability to participate in the community, build meaningful relationships, and achieve personal goals.
For participants of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), Capacity Building funding plays a vital role in supporting long-term development, enabling them to live more independently and take control of their futures.
Our Approach
At UNITE Canberra Care, our Capacity Building Support is person-centered. We collaborate closely with individuals, families, and caregivers to understand specific goals and tailor support accordingly. Our services include:
Life Skills Development: Empowering participants with daily living skills such as budgeting, cooking, communication, and time management.
Employment Support: Helping individuals prepare for, find, and retain meaningful employment through vocational training, resume writing, and interview preparation.
Social and Community Participation: Encouraging involvement in local activities to build social networks and community engagement.
Improved Health and Wellbeing: Supporting access to physical and mental health resources to foster overall wellbeing.
Support Coordination: Helping individuals navigate the NDIS, connect with service providers, and manage their plans effectively.
Why Capacity Building Matters
When individuals are equipped with the tools to advocate for themselves and participate in society, entire communities grow stronger. Capacity Building leads to:
Increased independence and confidence
Better decision-making and problem-solving skills
Enhanced quality of life
Greater access to education, employment, and social inclusion
Real Impact, Real Stories
Every day, we see inspiring transformations in the people we support. From learning to travel independently, to landing a first job, to making new friends—these are the victories that define our mission at UNITE Canberra Care.
