Empowering NDIS Participants to Build Independence & Connections.
At Nursing Solutions Group, goal-setting isn’t about ticking boxes, it’s about helping people grow, connect, and live with more independence and joy.
With the right support, goals become stepping stones toward new skills, stronger relationships, and a more fulfilling life.
Here’s how families, carers, and support workers can work together to shape goals that truly matter.
1. Start with What Matters Most
The best goals are personal. They come from what sparks interest and brings joy.
What excites them?
What hobbies or skills do they want to explore?
What gives them a sense of achievement?
For one person, it might be learning to cook. For another, joining a local art group or making new friends. When goals reflect someone’s interests and strengths, motivation follows naturally.
2. Keep It Achievable
Big goals can feel daunting. Breaking them into small, clear steps makes them easier to reach and easier to celebrate.
Instead of “Be more independent,” try:
→ Make breakfast twice a week.
Instead of “Make new friends,” try:
→ Attend one community event each month.
Simple, specific goals make progress easier to see and boost confidence along the way.
3. Focus on Wellbeing
Wellbeing supports everything else. Energy, confidence, and independence all start with feeling good physically and mentally.
Wellbeing goal ideas:
Take a 15-minute walk twice a week
Join a relaxation or meditation group
Try one new healthy meal each month
Even small habits can have a big impact on daily life.
4. Build Social Connections
People thrive in community. Encouraging social goals helps reduce isolation and build a stronger sense of belonging.
Try these:
Call a friend or family member once a week
Attend a hobby group or NDIS event
Plan a monthly outing to a café or park
Social goals add meaning and joy and create chances for real connection.
5. Support Independence
Independence looks different for everyone, but every step counts.
Examples include:
Preparing a simple meal
Using a calendar to plan daily tasks
Catching public transport with support
Supporting these skills helps participants feel capable and in control of their lives.
6. Celebrate Every Win
Progress deserves to be recognised, no matter how small.
Ways to celebrate:
A high-five or kind word
A fun outing
Sharing wins with family or friends
Celebrating keeps spirits high and reminds everyone how far they’ve come.
A Meaningful Future Starts Here
At NSG, we’re committed to helping NDIS participants set goals that lead to greater independence, confidence, and connection.
When families, carers, and support teams work together, every step forward becomes part of a bigger journey. One that’s meaningful and uniquely theirs.
