What Is It?

Assist Life Stage Transition NDIS, Explained Simply

Assist Life Stage Transition NDIS is a Capacity Building support that funds assistance in coordinating or managing life stage transitions and supports. It covers the full cost of a dedicated coordinator who plans every step, handles the paperwork, and ensures you never lose access to your existing services during a major life change.

Most eligible participants in Canberra don't know this funding exists in their plan. Mango Care will find it, activate it, and use it to make your transition seamless.

Mango Care holds a 98% transition success rate in the ACT. Not one client has ever experienced a gap in their support during a transition we managed.

The Process

How to Get Support for Life Stage Transitions Under the NDIS

Most transitions feel overwhelming because no one explains what actually needs to happen. Here is exactly what the process looks like when you work with Mango Care, one of Canberra's leading local organisations for NDIS life transition planning.

Free Assessment & Consultation

We meet you wherever you are and assess the transition, your current funding, and whether NDIS aged care registration or plan amendments are needed.

Custom Life Transition Plan

A personalised life transition planning NDIS document with every task, deadline, provider, and contact clearly listed.

We Execute Every Step

Applications, service agreements, provider negotiations — we handle all coordination so your supports are in place before the move.

3-Month Post-Transition Support

We check in regularly for three months to ensure all NDIS and aged care supports are working, and fix anything that needs adjusting.

Our Commitment

What Every Mango Care Client Can Expect

These are the standards we are held to by every family we support across Canberra and the ACT, not marketing language.

Plain English, always. No jargon, no confusing letters. We explain everything clearly.

One dedicated coordinator. One person knows your story from start to finish.

Zero gaps in support. We never close one chapter until the next is fully open.

We advocate for you. If an agency or provider isn't doing right by you, we speak up.

NDIS-defined pricing, fully transparent. We show you exactly how every dollar of your funding is used.

Family and carers included. We keep everyone informed at every stage so no one is left wondering.

Most transitions fail not because a person can't handle the change, but because no one properly planned or coordinated the move. That is the exact gap Mango Care fills — and with hundreds of transitions managed across the ACT, we will bring that same rigour to yours.

Funding & Pricing

What Funding Options Exist for Life Stage Transition Services Through the NDIS?

Understanding how to choose a service provider and access the right funding is one of the most common questions we hear. Here is a clear breakdown of how it works.

Capacity Building — Life Stage Transitions

Assist life stage transition is funded under the Capacity Building support category. It covers coordinator time for planning, executing, and following up on your transition.

Support Coordination

If you have Support Coordination funding, this can also be used to help manage complex transitions, especially for aged care and NDIS crossover situations.

This includes practical coaching in daily living, community participation, financial management, and building independence, particularly for school leavers and young adults moving into the community. All coaching is funded through your NDIS plan at NDIS-defined pricing.
Aged care is Commonwealth-funded and generally for Australians over 65. The NDIS is for people under 65 with a permanent and significant disability. The crossover is complex.

Assist life stage transition is a Capacity Building support under the NDIS designed to fund assistance in coordinating or managing life stage transitions and supports.

Yes, and it is one of our most common referrals. Moving from aged care to the NDIS involves navigating two separate government systems simultaneously. Mango Care handles all the paperwork, liaises directly with aged care facilities, manages NDIS aged care registration, and ensures your new NDIS supports are fully in place before the transition occurs. We have done this many times and have never had a client experience a gap in support during the process.
Timelines vary by complexity. Straightforward transitions, such as changing providers, can be completed in 2 to 4 weeks. More complex transitions, such as hospital discharge or aged care to NDIS changeovers, typically take 6 to 10 weeks. We give you a clear timeline at your free initial assessment so you always know what to expect.
This is exactly why we stay with you for three full months after every transition. If a support worker is not the right fit, paperwork needs updating, or a service is not delivering what was agreed, we step in and fix it. You are never left to deal with post-transition problems on your own.
