The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) supports a better life for hundreds of thousands of Australians with significant and permanent disabilities between the ages of 18 and 65 years.
The NDIS provides funding to eligible people with disability to gain more time with family and friends, greater independence, access to new skills, and jobs or volunteering in their community for an improved quality of life.
If you have a disability, and meet the eligibility criteria you can receive NDIS funding to access support services.
Knowing how to manage your NDIS plan is important. The funding you receive will depend on your disability, needs and goals. There are three types of support budgets that may be funded in your NDIS plan.
1. Core Supports budget
Core Supports is the most flexible budget and includes:
2. Capacity Building budget
The Capacity Building funding is allocated across eight support sub-categories, each matched with the goals in your plan. You can choose how to spend these funds to purchase any approved individual support within its category but won’t be able to move funding from one category to another. Categories include
3. Capital Supports budget
This includes supports such as assistive technology or modifications to your home, which depends on quotes from suppliers:
