Achieve greater independence with CPL
We want people to achieve their goals of greater independence, which is why we offer a range of independent living and life skills experiences. If you’re considering moving to a home of your own or want to get around more independently without support, we can help you develop the skills you need.
Tailored life skills programs
At each of our locations, we provide tailored programs to build essential life skills to support independent living. Our experienced team is committed to helping you develop practical skills that match your personal interests and needs. From managing daily tasks and budgeting to learning public transport and cooking, we offer a range of programs to enhance your independence.
Cooking experiences
Whether you’re a self-confessed foodie or want to learn your way around the kitchen, CPL's cooking experiences are for everyone. Running across Queensland and Northern New South Wales, participants will learn about nutrition, build new skills in our accessible kitchens, make new friends and, of course, enjoy tasting their creations!
Practical driving skills at your own pace
Develop your driving skills in a safe environment with our Road Safety & Driver Education Simulator.
With realistic bumps and turns, the 10-week driving experience enables users to gain confidence with steering and navigating traffic in a simulated, safe, and hands-on learning environment. These similators are available in a variety of locations, so get in touch to discover your closest one today.
Explore with confidence
We’ve helped thousands achieve greater independence, and we’re here to support you in living life on your terms. Our team will work with you to navigate and use public transport effectively, helping you become familiar with your local system. Together, we’ll practice taking the bus or train, empowering you to travel confidently on your own.
