It focuses on providing therapeutic services to facilitate functional improvement where maximum medical improvement has been reached. Supports under CB daily activity NDIS plans often include the provision of skills training, advice, and assistance with arrangements and orientation to assist a participant in moving from school to further education.

Services claimable under this category are typically delivered by qualified professionals such as Occupational Therapists, Speech Pathologists, Physiotherapists, Psychologists, Dietitians, and Audiologists. It also covers specialised supports like delivery of health supports by a nurse to respond to disability-related health needs , and specialised driver training. Additionally, this category supports the development of daily living and life skills, including public transport training and training for carers or parents in matters related to caring for a person with disability.

Providers can also claim for non-face-to-face support provision, provider travel, and short notice cancellations under specific conditions. The goal of CB daily activity is to empower participants to achieve their goals, gain insight into their lives, and make informed decisions through individual or group-based approaches.
