Starting with the NDIS can feel overwhelming, especially if it’s your first plan. This guide will help you understand the basics and show you how to make the most of your funding.

What Is an NDIS Plan?
An NDIS plan is a personalised document that outlines your goals, support needs, and the funding allocated to help you achieve them. Each plan is tailored to the individual participant.

How Does Funding Work?
Funding is divided into categories, such as Core Supports, Capacity Building, and Capital Supports. These categories cover different needs, from daily personal care to specialised equipment.

Tips to Get the Most Out of Your Plan

• Clearly define your goals during your planning meeting.

• Keep track of your budget with the NDIS app or a plan manager.

• Review your plan regularly to ensure it matches your needs.

By understanding your plan and using your funding wisely, you can achieve greater independence and confidence in your daily life.
