An NDIS goal should describe something that matters to you. You don’t need impressive wording or a large milestone. A goal can be about maintaining a routine, spending time with someone or getting help to make your own decisions.
These are examples for discussion, not goals everyone should adopt. A goal alone doesn’t approve funding for every related service.
Feeling comfortable at home
“I want support with my morning routine so I can get ready in the way that works for me.” You could explain which parts need help and which you want to do yourself.
Preparing food
“I’d like to make a lunch I enjoy with less help.” Talk about equipment, prompts, safety and whether professional advice is needed.
Getting to an activity
“I want to attend my weekly class.” Explain the assistance required for travel, access or taking part, rather than only naming the destination.
Spending time with other people
“I’d like help finding a group connected to my interests.” You can prefer a small group or choose to maintain existing friendships instead.
Making your own decisions
“I want information explained in a way I can use so I can choose my support.” Include communication preferences and the people you want beside you.
Work or study
“I want to explore a course or job that interests me.” Ask which services provide the relevant assistance and where mainstream education or employment responsibilities apply.
Home and living
“I want to understand my options for where I live and the support I need there.” Keep housing, support and funding questions separate.
Keeping something that already works
“I want to continue going to my local club with the assistance I need.” Maintaining participation is a valid personal priority. You don’t need a different achievement for every plan.
Add details in your own words
For each goal, describe why it matters, what currently helps and what is difficult. If a provider needs a practical objective, agree what that means together rather than copying a generic target.
The NDIA decides which supports meet the funding rules. For daily support planning, our individual support plan example shows how a preference can become an agreed activity. You can talk with Vana Care about the direct support you’d like to discuss.
