NDIS funding is tailored to each individual, based on their disability-related needs, personal goals and circumstances. Once a person is confirmed as eligible for the NDIS, they go through a planning process to identify the supports they need to live an ordinary life and work towards their goals.
Following this process, they receive an NDIS Plan, which may include funding across one or more of the following support budgets:
- Core supports: For everyday activities, support with daily living, transport and consumables
- Capital supports: For assistive technology or home modifications
- Capacity building: For building skills and independence
- Recurring supports: For ongoing or regular services and supports
Each NDIS Plan includes a set funding amount for the approved supports which is then used to pay service providers who deliver the supports.
