Understanding your NDIS plan
Learn about the funding in your NDIS plan and which supports you can access
NDIS Support Categories
There are four main funding types included in your NDIS plan: Core, Capital, Capacity Building and Recurring. Your supports will be organised into categories under these funding types.
Each of these categories relates to a group of supports that are here to help you reach the goals you’d like to achieve in your life. These categories can cover expenses you wouldn’t think of, so read up about each category and what it covers.
Your eligibility for these supports will depend on what’s approved in your NDIS plan and whether or not the item meets the criteria of being reasonable and necessary.
Learn about the four types of support:
Core
Core Supports are the basic things you need to live your daily life. Funding for Core Supports is flexible, which means you can use one Support Category’s funds to pay for another support – provided they’re both Core Supports (excluding Transport).
Capital
This funding type is for more significant, ‘one off’ items that you need to support you in your daily life. These supports are not flexible, so you can’t move budget from one category to another.
Capacity building
This funding type supports you in building skills to become more independent. These supports are not flexible, so you can’t move budget from one category to another – you have to spend it on the agreed services.
Recurring
Support specifically designed for ongoing assistance are regularly paid by the NDIA, removing the need for you to make a claim for these essential supports.
