Support budget types
Understanding your NDIS funding categories
Your funding is tailored to your individual needs and is divided into different budget categories, each with specific rules on how funds can be used. Funds cannot be moved between categories but there is flexibility for how funds are used within each category.
Your NDIS plan may include one or more of the following budgets:
Core supports budget
The most flexible budget, covering daily living needs, consumables, community participation, and transport. Some funds may be restricted for specific purposes. The services that your Support Workers provide on a daily basis will come from the Core Supports budget.
Capacity building budget
Aimed at skill development and independence, with funding allocated across categories such as employment, relationships, health, and lifelong learning. Support Coordination services will be paid for from the Capacity Building budget.
Capital support budget
Covers assistive technology and home modifications, such as wheelchairs or bathroom rails. These funds are based on supplier quotes and must be used for their intended purpose.
Getting started with your plan
Putting your plan into action
Once approved, your plan can be implemented with support from a Local Area Coordinator, early childhood partner, or a Support Coordinator (if funded). Self-managed participants can start using their plan independently.
