If you’re new to the NDIS, the different budget types can be confusing. Understanding the purpose of each helps you plan better and use your funding effectively.
Core Supports
Core supports cover everyday activities, such as assistance with personal care, transport, and social participation. These funds are flexible and can be used for essential daily support.
Capital Supports
Capital supports are for one-off purchases like assistive technology, home modifications, or specialised equipment. These items are usually long-term investments that improve your independence.
Capacity Building Supports
These funds help you develop skills and independence. Examples include therapies, education, and skill-building programs.
Tips for Using Your Budgets
- Always check your plan to see which supports are covered.
- Track your spending to avoid overspending.
- Consult your plan manager for advice on making your funding last.
By understanding your budgets, you can confidently plan your supports and achieve your goals.
