Navigating the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to understanding funding categories. These categories are designed to tailor support to individual needs, ensuring that every participant receives the appropriate resources to thrive. Here’s a breakdown of the key funding categories you need to know!
What Are NDIS Funding Categories?
The NDIS allocates funding into three main categories: Core Supports, Capacity Building Supports, and Capital Supports. Each category serves a specific purpose in helping participants achieve their goals.
1. Core Supports
Core Supports cover everyday needs and are flexible in how they can be used. This category includes:
Assistance with daily living: Help with personal care tasks such as bathing, dressing, and meal preparation.
Transport: Funding for travel costs to access services or activities.
Consumables: Costs for items like incontinence products or dietary needs.
2. Capacity Building Supports
Capacity Building Supports are designed to help participants develop skills and independence. This category includes:
Skills development: Training and support to improve daily living skills or social interactions.
Therapeutic supports: Access to services like physiotherapy, occupational therapy, or psychology.
Employment-related support: Assistance with finding and maintaining a job, including training and workplace modifications.
3. Capital Supports
Capital Supports are for larger investments in equipment or home modifications. This includes:
Assistive technology: Funding for equipment such as wheelchairs, communication devices, or home modifications to improve accessibility.
Home modifications: Changes to living spaces, such as installing ramps or grab rails, to enhance safety and independence.
Understanding NDIS funding categories is essential for maximizing your support and resources. By knowing how to allocate your funding, you can create a tailored plan that meets your individual needs and goals.
